The restaurant, food and service were very good. Staff were great, very friendly and nothing was too much for them. The food was delicious, tasty, hot and great portions. It was also very reasonably priced, and had a large choice on the menu. It was very clean and inviting. We will definitely be going back... Thank you...

Ate here on a Saturday night so it was quite busy. Managed to get parked outside which was nice and convenient. The waiters were welcoming and the service was good considering how busy they were. We were given a table at the back of the restaurant but as there was only about nine inches between us and the tables on... More

Recently went with members of our family, (six in total), for a birthday meal. The service was excellent and very friendly. Since the food all seemed to be cooked to order,so there was a fair gap between courses, but this was unimportant to us as we were out for the evening. The food, mainly Mediterranean, was superb and the menu... More
