for londoners visiting swansea we were pleasantly surprised when the bill came and checked with the host it was correct.
In summary
Excellent meal, friendly environment and chef came to table to talk to us about dessert menu. All cooked himself and 'surprise' courses of soup and sorbet included at exceptionally reasonable prices for such good quality. Thoroughly recommended.

This restaurant has recently opened and I can say with all honesty that it is the best restaurant that I have eaten in. I like to eat out a lot and it takes a lot to impress me, but this did! I could not fault the food, wine, service or hosts. If you are looking for a fabulous restaurant in Swansea, then I would advise this 100%.
Fantastic!
