Fantastic restaurant! Food was amazing, the standout was the signature steak and roasted potatoes side. Its quite large, single portion is enough to share some. Very friendly staff. Would absolutely go again and skip most things in favor of more steak.

Booked for my wifes bday. We got a Florentine steak for 2, ragu gnocchi, ravioli, and burrata. Hands down the best meal Ive eaten that I can recall. Our waiter was amazing too, friendly and knowledgeable. I dropped my fork in a crowded room and the guy pinpointed our table and what utensils by the sound it made incredible.
