What People are Saying
Loved this Restaurant”
“The service here was phenomenal and really friendly. The food was outstanding and that’s not even saying enough! My wife and I were not expecting it and left completely satisfied.“
“Really tasty food and top class service!”
“Went in with my girlfriend yesterday evening. We ordered two starters, two mains , a dessert to share and a bottle of Merlot. Everything was absolutely perfect, Delicious and divine food, combined with really lovely wine, was worth to try it for the first time. Really professional staff member from Suffolk was looking after us. Sadly we haven’t asked for his name! We might have a chance when we go in the next time, Because definitely we are coming back. Would recommend to friends or family.

“Excellent food, great service”
“We had a lovely evening here and were very well looked after by Zeljko, who was happy to chat to us and make recommendations for what to eat.
The food was excellent, not as heavy as I had feared it might be, and of very high quality. We were here because there was an offer for hotel guests, but we will return tomorrow to try some of the other dishes on the menu too…”
