This is a very pleasant neighbourhood wine bar which I visited for the first time tonight with my family . Food is excellent and creative . Service excellent also. Until you come to pay.

Asking about this unusual charge at the till produced impatience and what can only be described as derision . “It’s normal “ was the reply , how “many times do you actually eat out “was the question asked.

The personnel is always kind, friendly & knowledgeable.
Perfection is when there's good weather and one can enjoy their products sitting outdoor. Maybe around a...
