Hearing aid users would appreciate a loop to help overcome hearing difficulties. The food was delicious (albeit a bit on the cold side). We all ate from the Brunch menu. Our waitress and All the staff were incredibly helpful.

Absolutely outstanding food, service & atmosphere. Felt very European & lively. This was a double birthday celebration and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. It is an expensive experience but with this level of service, every detail considered & explained, coupled with fabulous food then worth every penny. 1st visit for us and already planning a return visit to enjoy the Christmas menu. Massive well done & thank you.
