We had Christmas dinner yesterday with friends, 6 of us in total. We’d been warned about poor service, so we’re a bit wary. There was absolutely no need for our concern, the atmosphere, surroundings, service and food were all top notch, food came with perfect time between courses and the veg was cooked very well, as in good not at all overcooked all with a bit of a bite, so ‘el dente’, just the way we all liked it. Would highly recommend this restaurant we had a fabulous time.

My daughter booked for 4 of us to dine for my birthday. It was 4 pm and no other diners here. However, the whole restaurant was fully booked for an evening party, and this was probably why late afternoon dining was restricted as they were preparing the dining area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was well presented, very hot and tasty. The service was excellent. At the end of our meal, the staff brought out a large profiterole with a candle and all sang happy birthday, a funny and thoughtful gesture. Will definitely dine here again.

Food was amazing, waiters were polite and humorous. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had and the chocolate brownie was delicious too, the drinks were amazing too. Would recommend.

Had a wonderful birthday celebration meal here. The staff were so organised, helpful and pleasant. The surroundings were lovely, especially for a celebration and I felt very special. We were delayed by traffic issues on the night but the staff were so understanding and put us at ease. Would definitely recommend and I can't wait to go back. Thank you Porada!
