Ambiance

Pros:

• "A lovely place, that came highly recommended on the basis of their outdoor terrace, and it didn't disappoint in the summer evenings."

Cons:

• "The restaurant is very noisy similar to brasserie style, I thought it was more quiet and chill."
• "We were crammed in like sardines to eat madly overpriced food."
• "The only downsides were the lack of Christmas decorations, 34 is advertising elsewhere as having the thousands of baubles decorated, these sources are not updated which is a real shame."
• "Pretty Instagram pic opportunities outside the venue but inside was not what we were expecting … web pictures were misleading … there were no baubles on the ceiling!!!"
• "Such a disappointment."
• "Atmosphere was bland, food over priced."
• "One thing I disliked, noise from crowdedness and the smell of closed place."
