We visited this Restaurant last weekend to celebrate 40 happy years we have known each other. The service was excellent with very helpful staff.
I had the Filetto al Pepe,Scottish Fillet with crushed peppers and red wine sauce, and my wife had the Vegetarian Cannelloni, stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach. We then finished our meal with a Liqueur Coffee. It was a very enjoyable experience and we Highly recommend.

We have been going to this restaurant for 20 years and we always love the food and atmosphere. We go every Christmas eve and every New years eve if there open plus a good 6 times through out the year for birthdays etc.. The Fillet steaks in the pepper sauce are the best. A party of six went on Friday for a birthday celebration and again the food was excellent, the restaurant was packed so we had to wait a while for our food but that was not a problem. The service was excellent as usual. Our bill was £220 for 6 people with no starters but we had sweets and a bottle of wine, that's a little expensive but for the quality we don't mind paying a bit more. The problem occurred when they added 10% to out £220 bill for a service charge, now we always leave a good tip and have never left the restaurant without tipping so to add a 10% tip to our bill is a insult to a regular customer or any customer. I mentioned to the owner that I was not happy about it and felt insulted the service charged was added. Her reply was that all restaurant do this now. (They don't, I eat out every weekend) So its a shame that they have resorted to desperate measures to boost there profits and have now lost many old customers in the doing so. A tip should be given at the customers discretion if the service is above and beyond. I would be happy to give a 10% tip but I refused to be told I must and have it added to my bill. Sorry but we will never visit this restaurant again with policies like this. Plenty of place we can eat at that don't rip you off at the end of a really good night. Never thought I would see the day that I would need to leave a bad review for this restaurant. Now we need to find a new place for Christmas eve and New years eve.

What a lovely happy restaurant this was, very excellent. We saw the desserts coming out and they look wonderful. Huge portions I could eat anymore but my partner had one and said how good it was. Highly recommend

We've dined here many times over the years.
The food has always been tasty.
Sometimes you can be seated quite close to another dining couple, which can be a little off putting if you want to talk without being overheard, but there is a hubbub of chatting within the place, so you don't feel as if you have to be quiet.
The female staff are friendly and smile, but most of the male waiters do not give eye contact, don't smile, and seem almost surly and unapproachable. It's always been this way, and we're used to it, but for new diners this can be seen as rude and uninviting.
It has an old style decor about it, which is traditional, but again some people may want modern and bright. As we love the food, it's not a bother to us.
