"What an amazing restaurant. Welcoming and light and airy. The menu is extensive and the staff very attentive. I chose an absolutely delicious fish dish. It really was top class food. I would not hesitate to recommend this establishment if you are visiting Carlisle."

"Pop in at time as already booked a table. Been offered a nice table to enjoy our dinner while we ordered our drinks something happened during that time to change our mind so me and my partner ended up to leave the place.
While we start having our drink, some Asians been treated in such way which made me feel uncomfortable. When asked them what happened, those customers told me what happened and how they been treated in a bit racial way. Even i didn’t finished my drink and request to my partner to leave. Hope not coming back again where people are treated according to their colours."

"We had a lovely meal on Saturday evening. The chicken xacuti was amazing and the portions were just enough! Good value for money. Service was very fast, the staff were friendly, on top of things and the place was clean and modern. It was very quiet with not a lot of people in the restaurant which was a shame since the food was so nice. I would definitely visit again."
