Customer Review Summary
Fajitas come up most, with one reviewer calling the steak fajitas incredible. Burritos, prawn and halloumi tacos, and rice bowls follow, and a picky eater was swayed by the Exmoor burger. Cocktails and mojitos earn praise, as do barista-style coffees. One reviewer felt the rice bowls missed a bit of salad. Friendly staff even brought a water bowl for a reviewer's dog.

“Went here as just walking past and hadn’t eaten with my husband and dog. Friday early evening quite busy not packed so got seated straight away. Excellent service really nice rice bowls would’ve given 5 stars for food but missed abit of salad. Coffees were really good too barista style. Give our dog a water bowl really friendly polite staff. Def do again!”

“Firstly the restaurant is so beautiful and decorated beautifully. The atmosphere is lovely and perfect for a date night. I had the steak fajitas which were incredible, my partner had the exmoor burger and he really enjoyed it. As a picky eater he was swayed which is incredible!!! Cocktails are 10/10. I would highly recommend. Will be coming again.”
