    We had the taster menu which is fine dining cuisine, it was absolutely superb, as was the service. I would highly recommend the Purple Poppadom taster menu for a special occasion.

    Food excellent, fish and beef courses were outstanding! staff friendly and welcoming. We had the set Valentine’s Day set menu and Service fell apart in the middle of the meal with long wait between courses, and we noticed that customers who came in after us were being served before us. Notwithstanding that it was an enjoyable evening, we will definitely be back!

    I feel that the staff were overstretched with the popularity of the evening. We were in no rush to finish our meal, but there were several diners sitting with folded arms waiting for the next course to be served.
