What the reviewers said: "The food was excellent, a little bit different to the usual but the better for it. A side of butternut squash, as recommended by the very attentive waiter, was delicious as were all our main courses. We got there just before 9.30 and were soon the only people in the restaurant but at no time were hurried and were even tempted in to a challenge to identify a drink at the end which resulted in a round of liqueurs. Will definitely be back."
