Ambiance and Restaurant Atmosphere

• "The restaurant manages social distancing really well and they have a call button on the table so you don't have to try and catch the eye of the staff."

• "Great experience, Big thank you to the friendly staff and to Aaron in particularly who went above and beyond for us."
• "Wonderful dinner, extremely qualified staff and owner who made me and my family feel like royalty!"

Cons:

• "A slight negative is that the extraction units in the restaurant are not as efficient as they could be, meaning all clothes smell of the grill."
• "The food was good but not so special as expected. Very disappointed for the service."
• "Almost 4 stars...but food is slightly overpriced and there was an extra charge on our bill which I didn’t recognise."
• "The food is a bit stingy…….my ‘seafood stew’ had one prawn and one sliver of squid and one mussel, the rest being onion and tofu."
• "Had to be the worst dining experience my friends and I had. Imagine using our phone's torch/light just to make sure we are eating safely."
• "On website it said the restaurant opening hours were 6:00-11:00 pm. We were there just after 10 pm but we were told that the restaurant was closed."
