Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the sharing boards and charcuterie, praising the generous portions, varied cheeses and meats, and the presentation. Close behind are the wine selections, repeatedly described as great quality and well priced, with several noting the knowledgeable staff guidance on pairings. The atmosphere earns frequent mention as lovely or perfect, especially for groups, with many highlighting the warm, friendly service. A recurring caveat is slow service, with some reporting waits of an hour or more for food, though most still call the experience exceptional. One reviewer notes the small two-person tables struggle to fit platters and drinks together.

“Visited Wednesday evening and a nice atmosphere considering it was mid week. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful and the cheese and meats were amazing.”
- Chris Buss
“Was very quiet which will never help the atmosphere. However, the food and service was exceptional. Great quality, well priced wine too.”
- James Buckingham
“We had a great experience. We decided to book up for a valentine’s late lunch. Booking was easy and got to choose exactly where we wanted to sit. The welcome from the member of staff was lovely and very friendly. We ordered a bottle of wine with an ultimate sharing board for two. There was plenty of food and the presentation was lovely. This was a great experience and so happy that we got to finally do it.”
- Roxana Horga

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
