“Great Food but Smokey Bar”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2012

Hopeless access through unbelievable traffic to a great eatery. Food is excellent and good service. Pricey but all good things are. Pity that the bar is sooo smokey as the pianist is worth listening to. Would bother to go again just for the Italian food. More
