We visited with our two children this week and were very impressed. It’s very spacious so didn’t feel too crowded, the atmosphere was relaxed, the decor was modern and smart, and the food was delicious! We were very well looked after by the friendly, professional and efficient staff. We will definitely be coming again :)

My first visit after having this new restaurant recommended to me. It was my birthday and I went with girlfriends for lunch. I was not disappointed. Great place, tables not too close and plenty of space. Our waitress Roxanne, was friendly, informative and added humour to make my celebration fun. Even added a candle to my dessert. The food was exceptional and presented beautifully. One person had to have gluten free and the waitress pointed out which dishes were suitable. Reasonable prices for the quality of the food. At night they have music and I understand it is lively then. Easy parking, wheelchair access and children welcome. I will definitely be coming back and try evening dining.

Really nice restaurant. Music on the weekend too. Staff are very friendly. Maybe a bit understaffed. Food is very nice. Altho it should state about the bread and dips being charged. Amazing desserts too. Definitely recommend for anyone staying in this area of Pilar.
