Lovely restaurant would definitely book again. Booked on a whim for a concert in the 3 Arena. The area was very busy but because we booked we were only waiting around 6mins for our table. Service was very quick and attentive. Will definitely be booking again. Music very loud in the restaurant though -we were shouting at each other before we even got to the gig!!
