I like here..a lot...most times..but Saturdays seem to be rushed....I hate having a finish time..you must be gone by...etc...split service..and turnover was all around. One should be able to relax on a night out...If returning, I will choose a different night. The food too I felt was rushed, with the pastas lacking their usual quality...batch made rather than individual. Perhaps... More

First time I ever write a review, but since I found this restaurant through tripadvisor I felt I owed them. The place was amazing,ambience,food,wine,and especially staff...couldnt fault them even if you tried.Best pate and beef fillet steak I ever had,and the apple tart with zabaglione was a perfect finish. All that on the early bird for 27euro...could not believe it.... More

Yes! I have eaten here with my wife on several occasions and it is really is a classy spot. I love the entrance, like going into someones house. The cosy, sitting room feel of the dining area (fabulous big carpets). The menu is delicious and always causes a problem when the time comes to order. It was more expensive but... More

I love this place. the menu may be a bit out of date but the setting and the service and the food, if a bit dated, are all still wonderful. This place is very charming and 'old worldly'.... More

A beautiful meal from start to finish. I had the duck main & my husband had steak. For medium-rare, the steak was slightly overdone but held flavour beautifully.The duck was mouth-watering. All local produce - suppliers listed on menu. Desserts were really something special. Go and spoil yourself ! More
