    Good food and lovely decor. We enjoyed our meal and the friendly service very much. The only problems were the lighting was too low for me to read the menu, and the ladies toilet has only one cubicle (if it's occupied, there's no room to queue except to stand on the busy stairway).

    The food let you down. The mushroom and pumpkin risotto had cinnamon in. Yukk. One of the baked fish dishes tasted fishy. Otherwise a fun night. Great atmosphere and good service.
