Myself and my fiancé had the taster menu with the wine flight yesterday evening. Our table wasn't ready even though it was pre-booked, but we waited around 20 minutes before being seated. Not a fabulous start, but easily made up for that after. The food was really good, it was a well thought out menu, the wine was amazing and the service from our waiter (Huma) was top-notch. She was lovely! Very knowledgeable on the different wines and their histories and flavours. Our table was kept tidy as she'd regularly come over to clear the wine glasses when we'd finished our drinks and ask how everything was. It was an expensive treat for my partner but as taster menus go in the city centre this was reasonably priced. We'd love to come back with friends. ✨
