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.
