It was a perfect experience, with a perfect ambience. The staff were extremely patient despite us staying over the closing time (very grateful, thank you) and the staff were very accomodating for my friend with food restrictions especially at such a short notice. Some of my picky friends absolutely loved the food, saying that all the different textures and flavours that came together made it such a lovely experience. I will definitely be coming back again!
