Excellent Service

Obviously, due to its proximity to University, its interior is geared toward students, but excellent service and value. For two well past student life - we would still go again.

We had a very nice meal off the brunch menu, this was a voucher we were given. We didn't want alcoholic drinks, so asked for a non alcoholic drink instead. This is where we felt let down, as we were refused an alternative drink. But, the voucher stated we could have a non alcoholic drink. This was a slight downer on the day.

What a gem of a restaurant

Our visit was the usual standard of pure excellence! The ambience was wonderful, comfortable and so friendly. The service was the perfect balance being well looked after while going at our own pace. The food was top notch - it couldn't be fresher if it was cooked right at our table. Fabulous! Everything was perfect i definitely can't wait to go back - fortunately I don't have to wait too long as I'll be back there tomorrow!
