We went to this restaurant mid-week before the cinema. We arrived and it was almost dead, bar one table in the corner. The waiter was keen for is to sit in the window, so we obliged. I knew straight away that we were not going to get top quality food or drink here, but I kept an open mind as... More

I've visited this restaurant several times over the past couple of years with my partner. We've eaten here for a quick lunch whilst out shopping and for evening meals and it has always been superb!

Good place to take the kids for an afternoon treat, not overpriced and very tasty. Been coming here for years, it was Santana previously. Staff always welcoming and the food always serviced quickly and of good quality. Definitely recommend.

All round top notch restaurant, sadly never seems very busy which is surprising. They do the best Italian meals and starters with delicious freshly made desserts all day. Happy hour menu is priced very generously for the portion sizes and flavour in anything you order. Evening menu is of course larger and there for more expensive but still worth it.... More
