We had a few long delays during the evening, and therefore sadly had to leave before dessert, but the food itself was delicious when it did arrive. Lope was very accommodating of dietary requirements which was appreciated. The venue itself was nice, though it would have been great if drinks were available to purchase (not just as part of a pairing).
