Came for the early evening menu but it was not put on our table so had to ask. When we enquired, the staff implied they were instead doing the CNY menu. The CNY menu was much longer and more expensive and we didn’t have time for it. Luckily the staff found the menu and were happy to oblige, but it felt a bit strange to not have it on the table for a 5:30pm booking. Food was lovely and staff were helpful in rushing us through to get to our theatre show on time.
