A recent visit to the restaurant featured a mix of experiences. One review highlighted a disappointing incident with a gluten-free meal causing illness, as well as poor service with delays and mistakes in orders. However, another review praised the restaurant for a delightful wedding catering experience with high praise for Lucy and her team. Other positive reviews highlighted the fabulous menu, friendly staff, and delicious food. Overall, despite some setbacks reported by some diners, the restaurant seems to offer a mixed experience that can range from disappointing to outstanding.
