    Absolutly fantastic. Its very different from other good resturants, Really a gem to behold. Great service and exceptional food, at a realistic price as well. Its becoming a family favourite. Vegetarian options: There could be a little bit more choice here, It doesnt bother me but three of my family are vegies, so it would be good to have a wider choice.

    Excellent meal. Lovely service. Had the piri piri chicken which was very very spicy. I was warned about this when it arrived. It suited me but it might be an idea to mention this when the dish is ordered rather than waiting till it is served. But only a very minor quibble.
