Absolutely amazing small restaurant serving high end delicious food.
All of the courses tasted amazing in a fabulous setting.
We also went for the wine pairing, which was really well crafted to go with each course.
If your going for a special occasion I would definitely recommend eating here as well as paying the extra for the wine pairing as its well worth the extra cost.
