A very enjoyable evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. They welcomed us and made us feel very comfortable. The place is quirky but relaxing. An extensive and varied wine list gave us a lot of choice. The service was efficient without being overbearing. The food was very good indeed,my scallops in a half shell were delicious. My wife had blanchebait and they too went down well. I chose the lamb rump and this was cooked and seasoned very well indeed. My wife chose swordfish and again this proved to be an excellent choice. The overall experience was enjoyable and we would recommend this place highly.

First customers of the day but warm welcome, very friendly staff, tapas (x6 between two) were just right for lunch although without groupon voucher would have been a bit pricey. Steady stream of seemingly regular customers, and enjoyed some good banter with a local couple. My wife felt she was rather pushed into having a new non-alcoholic drink rather than the water she originally ordered, but this was a minor facet of really good customer service. Wine was sound but again seemed slightly overpriced although a large glass did suffice for me duringthe duration of our visit. Background music very 70s - 90s easy listening stuff, which probably reflects the age of the average lunch time clientele - all in all an enjoyable experience and would definitely return for the right occasion.

Really friendly welcome, lovely ambience. and attentive service. Great wine menu, we had a lovely Pinot Grigio. And the food was amazing. My wife loved the starter special home made scampi with curried sauce, whilst I had the pate which was very nice. I had the pork belly and my wife had the lamb rump, for mains, both dishes as was all the food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. For desert we had sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream, which was very nice. We left the restaurant full a little tipsy and very happy with the dining experience we had just had. Would definitely dine here again. Many thanks

Great little wine bar with excellent food. Very relaxing atmosphere - I went with my two best friends and it was quiet enough to chat without feeling like everyone can hear your conversation. Lovely friendly management team too. I would highly recommend this place for a cosy meal.

We sat downstairs where there are just a few tables, more importantly its a phone free area which means you only get the sounds of quiet conversation. This combine this with really good food, toffee pudding has to be the lightest I’ve ever tasted, an pleasent attentative staff and you have a good dining experience.

I went for a long lunch with my wife and it was fantastic. We had Tappas to start and they were superb we had the meatballs, patatas bravas, paprika beef, chorizo and honey this was an excellent choice and very very tasty. Service was superb, kind and staff were happy to help. Lots of good wine to be had. My wife had sea bass and scallops and I had the fillet steak with a pear and walnut salad. Both mains were beautiful to look at and even better to eat top marks. We had been there for over an hour by now and no sign of anyone hurrying us up, thankyou. My wife had a lovely light pudding to finish, then a great cup of coffee followed by a final glass of red. \What a great meal and lovely dining experience, well worth a visit.

The food was very good but I feel the staff need a little training in the finer points of service. While it is a lovely place to be it took a while to get served and the owners are lovely. The wines as ever are great.
