    An ambient restaurant with great service and food options. It can be as expensive or cheap as you choose. Good selection of dishes and wines. The Schnitzel & Creme Brulee were to die for!

    Awesome food. Both fish and meet are good. Good starters too. I recommend hummus and some duck. The deserts are incredible good, just home made cakes.

    Spinach risotto is really nice. Waffle with vanilla ice cream after the meal is also yummy.

    I had the shin of pork, my fiancee the chicken and her sister the lamb steak. I tried theirs, I demolished mine and it was all exceptional. The desert optins are something else though. Highly recommen

    Great for breakfast. Even better for Sunday Roast. Cakes look amazing but not as good taste wise...

    Tasty, inexpensive lunches and a profiterole cheesecake so decadent that Ahmadinejad should denounce it

    Food is ok and the place is lovely but if you suffer from hay fever don't go there, fresh flowers all over the place and we had to leave because we got a bad hay fever... shame because it looked nice.

    Cake. That's about the only memorable menu item. Stingy portions of mediocre food.
