    Good service. Timely and attentive. Really tasty food. Ambience was fine. Price I’d say was on the higher side of reasonable. But would definitely recommend and will return.

    We had a lovely night at the restaurant. Restaurant staff was very accommodating to our needs as we had extra ppl joining in. They made effort to move tables for us. They also found and kept our lost items securely so we were able to get them back. And of course, food was of high quality and very tasty. Highly recommended!

    90 minute booking. Food took an hour and 10 minutes to come out. Had 20 mins to eat then be told we have to give up the table. Food was ok, but nothing special. Wouldn’t bother going back
