Fabulous. Food was cooked to perfection, the atmosphere was great, service was really good. I can honestly say the steak was cooked perfect and it was so tender it was like a knife going through butter. Highly recommend.

We had hallumi served but never ordered it and got charged for 2 mixers when we only had one. Food was good but quite expensive. Didn’t like decor too Many mirrors

Service was excellent but the quality of the food was disappointing. A lot on the plate was unnecessary for a brunch. Less is more . Need to focus on quality not the quantity.

Absolutely everything about our experience today was perfect! The restaurant is beautiful, the food is excellent and the staff, especially the lovely owner were beyond attentive, our friend got stuck in traffic and they pushed her order through so she could join us in our meal. Nothing was too much trouble! We had a wonderful time and look forward to our return!

We’d been only once before, but definitely left an impression & knew we would have to return. Booking was made very easy & table reservation hassle free. The only reason you didn’t get top score, was our table was a little too close to the bar area. Other than that, we had a lovely meal within a fantastic atmosphere.
