Great atmosphere for some Saturday afternoon drinks and snacks! Great selection of wine and cocktails, and the cheese board, bruschetta and cheesy garlic bread were all delicious. We were served by James who was very attentive and very knowledgeable about all of the food and drink options. Would definitely recommend it!
