Decent little place with informal atmosphere. Nice friendly service but there were issues with the orders. 1. Long delay before getting any food as starter give to wrong table 2. Three of our four starters came out together and were finished before the fourth one even arrived 3. Gin and tonic came as gin and soda water. However, these issues overcome with apologies and gift of free flat bread. Qualityof thefood was very good and super tasty. Chef came and apologised at the end for the mix up which was a nice touch. A bit expensive (especiallythe beer!) but would return again as overall a good experience.

Gorgeous food @desire, but the best thing about this restaurant is the staff; friendly, inviting, and considerate! We were originally sat next to a large group but once the party got a bit louder our waitress informed us she was just waiting on another table to open up and moved us to an intimate setting as soon as possible. We didn’t mind the group, but her consideration for our date night was wonderful. Food choices were veggie antipasti, arancini, seafood linguine, (a staff recommendation,) and tiramisu, all incredibly delicious courses, we can’t wait to visit again.

We had a fantastic meal here back in November. Lovely, intimate setting and food was delicious. Our waitress was super smiley, friendly and attentive. We have recommend to family and friends and hope to return soon.

We had a lovely meal here on a Friday evening , food was great and service was amazing and friendly . Restaurant was a bit cold despite them having little fan heaters on , not their fault as it was a freezing cold night . We will definitely be back .

We booked after seeing the January deals on Facebook. The restaurant is attractive with the parquet flooring and exposed stone and rendered walls. This looks great but if you happen to be sharing the space with some lively guests the noise bounces off all of these hard surfaces and it's hard to hold a conversation. The service was excellent, drinks arrived quickly and the mains didn't take too long to come. We had pasta and pizza and enjoyed both. The desserts took ages to arrive and our server chased them up. It's a shame because they too were lovely. Our server took the cost the cost of them off the bill, which was unnecessary really as they were also part of the deal. I would happily come back again, maybe with friends rather than on a budget January date night!

Booked a table for lunch on 5 Jan which w as confirmed in a string of emails. Day before I received a reminder of the booking. On the morning of the 5th I received a telephone call from the restaurant to say they were sorry but they were not opening that day and that all the emails sent by them were a mistake If they can’t manage a diary then I dread to think what a meal might be like.
