Lovely girl, can't remember her name, but she runs the place and knows what's she's doing. Our meal was excellent, and reasonably priced too. Perfect place to go after a play at St James too.

We visited both the bistro and the wine bar and both impressed us. Chris is a great host and took time to recommend the best food and wine for us.

Small restaurant run by such pleasant folk - happily produced vegetarian courses for one of our group. The standard menu is small, freshly produced and very good - wash it down with the local wine ! Pity was we didn't go here until the holiday was nearly over - otherwise it would have been the daily choice.

Great atmosphere, food and service. A bit pricey but worth it. Their wine bar in Straight St also worth trying, great Maltese platter.

Meal and evening in the wine bar was first class.Tasty food,good wine selection and excellent service.The Bistro was even better and the Spanish host, a rugby lover from the Basque country,was most passionate in providing good food and wine.The Rib Eye steak was excellent and so was the Argentian Pinot Noir.Good atmosphere and highly recommended.

Great choice for anyone looking for a cosy wine bar and a relaxed environment. Platters are nice and daily specials are an added bonus.
