We had brunch on Easter Sunday, and enjoyed their special dish with lamb and lovely spring vegetables. Also had a French charcuterie board, which was tasty but not particularly inspired. Tried their new special cherry cocktail, which was surprising and not too sweet - a winner in my book. Our only negative was the bread that came with the charcuterie board, which was just OK. Lots of good choices on the menu, so will probably return for brunch again.
