    Booked for dinner on Sat 19th, we got to the restaurant 5 minutes before our booked time. Stood around waiting while they looked at available tables. However from there we ordered drinks and we had to ask several times where they were. The food came out and very overpriced and underwhelming. Will definitely not be recommending anyone to this place.

    Excellent wait staff service, attentiveness and amazing food. Love the food menu, presentation, taste etc was 100%. Drinks/cocktails, could be better. However, unfortunate that the absorption of the kitchen vents must be the poorest I’ve seen or why is that the whole restaurant smells so bad. Everyone agrees that our hair clothes jackets smelt terrible like drenched with oily seafood meat smell during and after leaving the restaurant - great food but terrible ventilation / air quality inside.

    Even when it’s super busy, the staff are amazing. Food is 100/10 and place, atmosphere and drinks was perfect. We took my partners parents here and they loved it! We’ve also been numerous times and leave happy and tummies filled! Thanks again :)

    Amazing food, combinations that you just don't see anywhere else. I could eat the watermelon and plum salad every day for a year!! Very good value and the portion sizes were good too. Service was great. The only (very slight) let down was the decor and ambience. Upstairs is very dull. But the food more than makes up for it.
