The intimate setting and delicious food make this a hidden gem. It's a shame it wasn't busier, but that just means more for those who discover it. Highly recommended!

This hidden gem offers excellent food, wine, and service in a cozy and intimate setting. The chef even came out to greet us and offer birthday drinks. A truly delightful experience.

The food falls below average, and the service is disappointingly poor. Long wait times and kitchen smells detract from the experience.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. While the ambiance and quality of the produce were excellent, there were issues with bland and un-imaginative sides. The staff, though friendly, lacked experience and knowledge. A missed opportunity for a memorable dining experience.

An enjoyable Christmas work party with lots of singing and dancing after a great meal.

The inconsistency at this restaurant, The Restaurant, has led to my decision to not return after about 20 years. Rubbery pigeon followed by rubbery lamb exemplifies the issues. While there are moments of excellence, they are overshadowed by frequent disappointments.

Wow! The food, service, and ambience were all exceptional. The welcoming waitress and amazing presentation exceeded expectations, especially considering doubts about the Indian taste. The dessert, Mango Passion fruit crème brûlée, was the best ever tasted.
