Getting There
INFO
This is a young hidden gem. I was taken by my family to enjoy the taster menu and wine pairing. It was a wonderful experience of gradually increasing taste sensations which were excellently paired with the wines. The venue and decor is creative and, whilst large enough to hold bigger parties, it is well mapped to keep it feeling personal. I cannot say enough about the staff who were very knowledgable about the plates, very professional in their conduct and very personable to keep it feeling comfortable. It was great value for the experience and I will definitely be re-visiting and recommending to my friends.
This place is amazing… I would recommend everything
Can’t wait to be able to enjoy the beautiful food here again. I especially love sitting on the bar where you have a view of the kitchen, you get to watch the chefs in their element, creating delicious dishes.. though be warned.. this can be dangerous.. I often end up ordering extra dishes once I see something scrumptious going out that I haven’t ordered. The chefs are always happy to tell you about the dishes. They also serve the most perfectly balanced mojito!! I know it will be worth the wait. Until then stay home, stay safe xx
