the food was pretty good, espiecially the linguine. However, the service seriously disappointed me. the waiters and waitresses were very unfriendly.   (ives - See my reviews (12) - March, 2008)

Disappointing lack of knowledge about cheese and keeping cheese. Cheese plate returned due poor quality and badly aged. Other food experienced was fine. Have been about 8 times in 3 or 4 years. Conisistent high standard.   (January, 2008)

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal, but the menu was limited, possibly another 1 or 2 mains should be added. The food was very good quality and the service exceptional, we would visit again.   (Kanella - April, 2007)

Overall 7 - Food 7, Ambience 6, Value 6, Service 9

We enjoyed the meal but thought the menu was a bit small only 6 mains apart from pastas. Wine prices were a bit steep. Also thought the tables were too close don't enjoy a stranger sitting only 12 inches from me.   (cheffie boy - April, 2007)
