    Not the best food quality. Although the presentation/appearance was good it’s very basic and expensive for what it is. You have to Que at the bar even if you have a table in the restaurant? It was more convenience using this place, we wouldn’t choose to eat here again.

    Beautiful meals with a lovely atmosphere!! Only thing I would say was to introduce table service due to being so busy! But 5 star from us 👌

    Nice place but too night, could do with better lighting, no background music, would benefit from some background music. Good basic and simple does the job after a long day when you are too tired to cook.. Staff nice.
