    Our waiter, Avuyile, was fantastic. He recommended a cucumber spritzer, the flatfish and an incredible dessert - three great choices! We will be back!

    The Cottage Pie was excellent. Right size portion and the taste was great. Just what the doctor ordered after a couple of days with a dodgy tummy!
