1st visit: Nice and short menu keeping the quality high rather than lots of dishes with lower quality. That being said, some things were hit and miss. Service forgot our dessert too. Soup good, salads good, bread on our bruschetta a little stale. Cheesecake needs to give me a more pronounced tomato flavour. Some room temperature butter for the bread would be nice too.
