From the moment we were met at the door to our exit, we felt like long-time customers. It was very quiet when we arrived at 6 pm on a Thursday night but by the time we left about 2 hours later, it was pleasantly packed. The noise level naturally escalated but it didn't get too loud. Just a happy group of people. The clientele were mixed between men in business suits and older couples. We are mid/late thirties and we felt we were the youngest in the restaurant.
The kitchen puts a lot of thought into what goes into a meal and it's evident by the multitude of flavours and the pairing of ingredients. Everything was wonderfully match and not a single ingredient was over powering. I ordered a roast duck special and thought I might be hungry at the end of it but was pleasantly surprised at the generosity of the kitchen.
The burnt honey ice cream (home made) was a new flavour to us and exceptional.
This is very clearly our new favourite restaurant just five minutes from home.
