We've been several times and I hate to say it, but it has gone downhill since it's changed hands. I really wanted to give them a chance to settle in, hence me waiting to post a review. From the top down, the service is lacking in direction and professionalism. On several occasions we have had confused and lacklustre greetings on arrival (including by the manager), slow service at the bar, and errors made in orders. On the plus side the place is well-maintained and some of the waitstaff are very nice.

Wonderful seasonal menu with plenty of tempting and healthy options. On a Summer sunny day outdoor tables are available among trees. The staff are very kind and can advise on the best choices.
