Charming and efficient service. We ordered the set “Experience” menu to save time. It was all delicious but the crusted chicken was a little dry. The room we were in was very cold but staff responded to our complaint and heating improved. The restaurant is stunningly decorated from floor to ceiling! The music was very loud 70s disco, so great for a party meal, not for a romantic evening.

Went to Sticks n sushi for our team xmas meal and it did not disappoint. Delicious food with an impressive choice, beautifully presented. Attentive service. Yummy cocktails. Only 1 teeny inprovement suggestion....It would help if waiting staff said what each item on a mixed tray was more slowly as it was difficult to hear with both the speed and background noise.
