A delicious lunch and lovely wait staff. We were looking for a quick coffee but ended up trying the lunch specials prompted by our incredibly friendly and lovely waitress Toni. And she wasn’t wrong the food was plentiful and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully set out in low mood lighting with booths and tables, which would perfectly fit a gracious lunch or a romantic interlude. Only niggle is that the coffee although well made is something special flavour wise. Combined with the attentive service and fantastic food it’s well worth a try.

What can I say? This place completely blew us away. From the moment we walked in, it was clear we were in for something special. Every dish was an absolute standout: Flavourful, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly. The sparkling wine on the house was a lovely touch too. The vibe was the perfect blend of modern sophistication and cozy charm, making it feel like an inviting yet stylish retreat from the world. And here's the kicker: The prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality and portions. For our first anniversary, it couldn’t have been more perfect. But what truly made the night unforgettable was the service. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, warm without being intrusive, and made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. It was the kind of service that makes you eager to return. Can’t wait to come back!

Our first visit and wow, incredible food, service and vibe. We loved everything. My favorite was the pork belly with an brilliant tasting coleslaw - with a touch of mint. Shout-out to Ryan and Michael for great service.

Had a lovely dinner here with colleagues and was super impressed!! We ordered the banquet menu of perhaps like 7-9 dishes if not mistaken. The servers were really nice and friendly, had a lot of help and fun conversations with Ryan from London 👋. He asked us few times about the dietary restrictions and really catered to our needs during the dinner. The foods were on point, everyone loved the meal. The best one for me was the green curry, lamb ribs and the chocolate dessert 😍 totally recommended!

Overall the dining experience was very enjoyable. The food was delicious as were majority of the drinks we tried. The wait staff are attentive (sometimes almost too attentive) and very friendly. The only down sides were that it was freezing with the aircon on full blast, all of our plates coming out at once which meant some items had started to cool by the time we got to them and feeling like we were being rushed/pushed out towards the end of the booking even though we knew the time we had to be finished by. Would definitely still come back though as I am nit-picking the small stuff.
