The quality of food was first class - we both had pizzas - but the main thing for us was the staff member - Lauren - who served us. She was great and if every restaurant had someone like her it would be wonderful! She was very attentive; very helpful; nothing too much trouble, and she even laughed at my old man jokes!

Booked the day before without any hassle. Greeted warmly when you arrived, asked about any dietary requirements, and my wife is gluten-free and discussed the menu. Taken to great booth, drinks ordered and arrived promptly. Staff are very helpful and pleasant. The meal was fantastic, and the buffalo hot dip was amazing.

The restaurant was very peaceful when we arrived for dinner, and even then, the food took a bit longer than expected to arrive. However, the food was delicious, and the coffee was quite flavorful. The waitress was very attentive and prompt. The restaurant was very clean and tidy, and I would highly recommend it.

Lovely and quiet as it was a Thursday tea time but Wow! The food was excellent, I’ve had pasta in Italy and I have to admit this was the nicest. Serving staff were very good and attentive. I’m coming again next week, definitely! If you want good food, good service and a great dining experience then come here!
