• "Just a rather flat atmosphere."
• "No pictures on the walls or any other decorations."
• "Unfortunately we found the restaurant rather loud."
• "The decor of the restaurant is very minimalistic."
• "Not what I was expecting - try hard boujie vibes, like it wants to be a fine dining cafe."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Generous portions and good prices."
• "Very reasonable prices given the quality."
• "Simple yet sophisticated flavours at a good price."

Cons:

• "For these inflated prices (breakfast at over £65 for two people, no alcohol) I'd really expect everything to be fresh."
• "Deducted one star as it's pricey (£30 each) and the mains were so-so."
• "This place cost £75 for two glasses of wine and three courses."

• "One big down side for me apart from the food was how pricey it was."
• "Overall dinner for two came to £134.00 which in my opinion is vastly over priced for what we got."
• "£50/person for just one OK starter, one pretty bad main (with no rice or bread), a non alcoholic drink, and coffee after. £££ Ridiculous."
