This a great review about service. And the owner. Sadly a gas leak closed the restaurant. The owner called me apologise and then recommednded two local restaurants. So apologetic but then immediately solve my problem and gave me the the other resturants phone numbers. I will come back to eat simple because of the care and attention.

Food was superb. The sea bass stood out - probably one of the best I’ve had. Service was attentive interior was lovely and intimate — small and tucked away, felt like a hidden gem

Fabulous find in Durham centre. Food was superb, the service attentive but not overly so. Gary was extremely helpful and his recommendations of the duck and lamb were spot on. Highly recommended
