The table was reserved way before we arrived so when we got there 30mn in advance it wasnt a problem. We waited a long time for the food to arrive but the waiting staff were nice and the food was good. Decent portions served. The drinks were served quickly and they added a raspberry to the glass for the prosecco so it was a nice touch. Would recommend and would return. Extremely convenient for the theatre as it is on the other side of a small quiet street from it.

Really good service food was very good , just a bit noisy with people packed drinking stood up next to your table but that's the hazard of a small narrow area.
