Very nice food. Well presented. Service slightly slow but it was busy. Cocktails weren’t great presentation wise and were small so very poor value for money there. Other than that was nice

Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the food and presentation. We apologize for the slower service during a busy time and will take your feedback on board as we work on our new cocktail menu. We hope to welcome you back soon!
