    I rated the service a 3 star because the waiter we had she was busy with people who came after us and we got our food after the people we arrived there after us but she was sweet.

    Thursday evening Santuary-Labia for 2-special. Fantastic value, great meal and what a wonderful experience with a Labia movie included, within walking distance from the restaurant. Loved it. The kitchen converted one of the 3 pasta choices to a vegan option for me, and it was delicious. It is winter and the ambience is not cosy, nor intimate but it's pleasant and the staff and friendly, helpful and accommodating to special dietary requests. Would recommend the experience.

    Everything was amazing from views to the food but not so much the drinks, and it was very affordable
