Couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough! Easily the most memorable meal of my last few years. Stunning food, excellent ambience and Daniel is a true gentleman who provided some top recommendations and great chat! As a first time visitor I’m already looking forward to returning.

Incredible food. I came here with my mother and grandmother and we all ordered something different and everything was amazing. We came on the bank holiday Monday and it happened to be quiet. The atmosphere was amazing and he introduced every dish to us. If I could give 10 stars I would. 1000% going to come back.

What an incredible place! Small, intimate and warm! Daniel himself welcome us, talked us through the menu and gave his recommendations. The wine list is carefully curated by him and even has his own comments printed on it! The food was the star of the show! We got Lobster Bisque, Whitetail, mushrooms with crab and Lobster Thermidor - all caught fresh and cooked to order! His recommendations and pairing were exceptional. The deserts are all homemade, down to the ice cream itself! I recommend the fried ice cream! It’s perfect! Thank you so much Daniel! We look forward to coming back!

Daniel was lovely. Very welcoming and chatty. He will advise you what is the best pairing for your mains and sides! I learned so much about potatoes 🤣 For starters, get the mushroom and crab cake. Very generous portion of crab.Lobster Thermidor tastes so wonderful! I was considering ordering another one but I need to make room for dessert. Definitely a must try. For the dessert, go for the deep fried ice cream. Will definitely come back again.
