"We didn’t make advanced booking at other restaurants but luckily we found this bistro that accepted walk in. Delicious meals served in big dish with acceptable price. One server though, still providing good service. Surroundings are clean. Although this bistro has yet to receive many reviews, I’m glad to give them 5 stars because of this surprising find. Everything is good here."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. The bruschetta (only thing I took a pic of) was delicious and the scampi and chips were really good too. My other half enjoyed hot wings and the steak and ale pie. The staff are really attentive and friendly and it's reasonably priced."
