Dishes and Flavors

Service and Staff

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The restaurant is understated yet calm. We got to sit near the kitchen, which was very nice."
• "The decor appeared classy and minimalistic but look closely and you will see the incredible attention to detail."

Cons:

• "Atmosphere and music is a little odd. Music is lighthearted 80s 90s but then the service is overly formal and serious so they clash."
• "The area where the restaurant is situated it's not the nicest."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It’s pricey but worth every pound!"
• "Definitely worth going if you like fine dining experiences."
• "This restaurant is beyond food it's a journey."

Cons:

• "For the price we paid (£500 pp), the food has to be not just great, but incredible. It was great, and interesting, but not incredible."
• "In terms of quality/price ratio, probably on the expensive side."
