From the tapas, appetizers and main course everything was delicious. We ordered some anchovies tapas, first time I tried them and they were spectacular. And what to say about the wine, we chose one on the recommendation of the waiter and it did not disappoint!

We had our Christmas party at Balcon - there was 11 of us in total. The food was perfect. Drinks matched wonderfully. Good value, and a perfect place for a large group. We booked last minute and I was thrilled to get a booking at a top notch restaurant! Thank you

The food and service were great, but a little noisy, which made it hard to talk. We had two teenagers with us, and it wasn't for them. Advice: ditch the kids and have a great night out here!

Had a Group booking, so we had the deluxe banquet. The quality, taste and quantity of food was praised by my team and they catered well for the vegetarian in our group with personally presented plates of his own. Drink requests were pleasantly responded to quickly and the wine recommendation was well suited and right on budget to be enjoyed. Overall this is a terrific venue and several of the team have recommended ot their friends and family already.
