Had a great experience, firstly we got the table I requested. The Croatian waiter who looked after us was LOVELY & the food was perfect. I was very impressed that we weren’t charged cakeage to have my homemade cake given to my friend for her birthday. Overall a fabulous experience 👏❤️

What a great restaurant! The staff were lovely and the service was excellent. I loved the atmosphere; the place was buzzing when we arrived and it's obviously very popular. It was very clean and airy. I really appreciated that we didn't feel any pressure to leave and we were there for quite a while for an important catch up. I very much enjoyed the meal and I'll certainly be going back.
