Duke Street's grand frontage looks like the sort of place you'd never take a toddler, but step in and it's warmer and more relaxed than it appears — roomy enough for a pram, with high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating when the room gets stuffy. Service is the real strength: unhurried but attentive, and food for a table of seventeen arrived together, which bodes well for a family who need everyone fed at once. The seafood spaghetti and the trio of bruschetta draw the loudest praise, portions are generous, and the pastry and cake counter makes a decent breakfast stop. Free parking helps. Evenings bring a DJ and a livelier buzz, so lunchtime suits younger children better — and one visitor found the bread platter dry.
