Having heard a great deal about the fantastic food and atmosphere at this venue we decided that as we had a special occasion to celebrate, we would give it a go.
Filled with high hopes, we were greeted warmly upon arrival and shown to a tiny table in the corner with my fiance sitting at a right angle to myself. There was a lot of noise in this very crowded space and we quickly realised this was not going to be a quiet intimate meal.
