Really enjoyed the food here. Small area for tables inside along with a bar and coffee machine. Lunch menu offered various selections. Service was good, bread, water all brought to table. We had crab and lobster ancinni to start. Lovely sauce and cheese crisp. The lamb was tender and gravy with vegetables to be recommended.
