We had an amazing meal this evening and the best bit it’s local. The food was beautiful and the service impeccable. The owner Tony was attentive and professional He has created a hidden gem. I almost don’t want to share it.
The bruschetta were one of the best I’ve had and the salt and pepper honey chicken an excellent choice.
The decor and ambience is high end too. On the whole recommended and we shall be making it a regular thing.

As a family, we are always on the lookout for new restaurants to try and are prepared to travel for good food.

I’m a stickler for hygiene and won’t dine anywhere that doesn’t have a 5 star food hygiene rating.

Came across this gem online and decided to give it a whirl and am so glad we did. We were welcomed to our table by a lovely lady (the owner) who was very friendly which makes a great first impression. Our waitress was also a lovely young lady (think the owner’s daughter) and she was very friendly and attentive all evening.

Our table was at the back of the restaurant, pretty much away from all other tables. We didn’t mind this, although I must say that the lighting was a bit dim and could have been slightly brighter.

Onto the food and this was really lovely. The menu has something for all tastes and all of us enjoyed our meals. The beef burger was exceptional and I’ll definitely have that on my next visit. Kids all enjoyed their meals too.

One slight improvement/ recommendation would be to get a proper dessert menu. I always like something sweet after my meal. When asking about desserts, we were told they don’t have a menu as such but did have either Oreo cheesecake or chocolate mousse available. Without a menu and no pricing, I was a bit wary so gave it a miss.

As I was driving, we all had soft drinks. I would suggest that £2.20 for a black currant cordial and water for my son is a bit steep. Should be under a pound for that - but that is my only minor gripe.

We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu

We had Antonio's recommended to us by a couple of people so we booked our table online. It was as easy process and we received a reminder email the day before we dined.
The menu had a good variety to choose from including some we hadn't heard of before.
The service was quick and always with a smile. The meals were plentiful and very tasty.
We are looking forward to our next visits to try the rest of the fayre.

First ever visit but heard a lot about this restaurant we had to try it for ourselves.
I assure it does not disappoint.
What a fantastic experience from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.
The staff are amazing really friendly and attentive. Donna even took time to chat and gave us a bit of history of the buildings past. The food is absolutely amazing I have a very fussy eater of a husband and he loved it. That is an achievement in itself. So looks like this will become our favourite place to eat.
