Excellent service combined with friendly staff and quality food never disappoint me. I would imagine that the menu choices will suit a majority of people. The recommended wine list also adds to the experience. As always a lovely evening.

I loved this place years ago when it first opened. The last 3 visits (over last couple of years) it’s only been ok. The falafel starter was very dissapointing - rubbery .

Really good food, with very good service, have been going here for years and have always found the standard to be very high. If I had a criticism, it would be that the online menu didn't match the board in the restaurant.

The food was amazing. However, we were let down by the service. The waitress had a really annoyed look all night. Didn't offer to refill our drinks at all. Might have been a one off for her, but it did put a damper on our evening out. We usually enjoy going to cafe lilli

First time visited, delicious locally sourced food. Plenty of friendly staff on hand checking things were ok, more drinks etc. When ordering food, would have liked to be asked if any vegetables were required so we had known to order separate. Lovely evening and well recommended.

This restaurant was a great discovery. A relaxed bistro style eatery with superb food and friendly service. The chef/owner offers a Mediterranean influenced menu with combinations that make the simplest of dishes an exotic experience. Equal to the best food I have experienced in some very expensive places, you will not be disappointed with any aspect of the dining experience. Good food good service good value for money a superb place for a casual dining experience with an upmarket feel. My dining companion was absolutely thrilled with the overall experience and so was I Highly recommended!

Made a last minute booking for Friday evening just got a table as the restaurant is very popular . A couple of times a year they have a lobster night on the specials so had to give it a go ,not cheap but absolutely delicious ,wood pigeon starter also very good. The only small criticism is that all of the deserts (apart from ice cream) have have something with gluten in, having said that on the couple of occasions I've asked they have adapted something to suit.
