Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food is to die for, and presented impeccably."
  • "Each and every dish we sampled was expertly cooked and cleverly constructed."
  • "The food is well-thought out and tastes amazing with great flavour combination."
  • "Every single dish was amazing; you could tease out the flavour of every single ingredient and they all tasted very different to one another!"
  • "Every single dish was crafted with care, using top-quality, seasonal ingredients, and cooked to perfection."
  • "The Asian influenced food was simply outstanding."
  • "Every dish was full of flavour."

Cons:

  • "Some dishes should be left simplified, chef too ambitious and some dishes don't work."
  • "Food (Very small dishes and rather expensive) was interesting and overall ok, but we didn’t experience the hit of wonderful flavours we were hoping for after reading others reviews."
  • "The dishes were excellently cooked and (for the most part) well presented. What a shame that the flavours were so mild and unremarkable."
  • "The crab papads didn’t have much flavor."
  • "But we felt that it was lacking in... 'flavour' (for want of a better description). It was all nice - but not a single dish had that 'wow' factor."
  • "We were left flabbergasted that something so uninspiring would be a signature dish."
  • "Food would have been 5, but there were couple of misses."

Service

Pros:

  • "It's not too big meaning that there is a good atmosphere and it also means that the service is great."
  • "The service and team are impeccable."
  • "The service was amazing and the food was hands down one of the most faultless and delicious meals we’ve had in a long time."
  • "Definitely recommend but you must book, we just got lucky."
  • "The knowledge of the dishes the staff had was excellent."
  • "Our server was knowledgeable and attentive throughout our meal."
  • "Served by extremely friendly and highly professional/knowledgeable staff in an upmarket trendy place."

Cons:

  • "Would be 5 stars if they are consistent in terms of service & food."
  • "I would just say that they could do with one more wait staff but that takes nothing away from the food quality and fantastic value for money."
  • "Some waiters a bit unfriendly but others are very friendly so again - a bit of hit and miss."
  • "The only negative point from me is that we had the table booked at 5.30pm, we were there 5.20 and the door was closed. They opened at 5.32... it was a bit unpleasant to stand in front of the closed door especially as they saw us and we weren't alone standing there...."
  • "Although the staff are absolutely lovely and really friendly, they did seem a little run off their feet, there were points where we just needed something like a glass of water or another drink and it took quite a bit of time to get to the attention of the staff."
  • "It took an age to even get drinks, asked for no fruit in my drink, it came with fruit."
  • "Unfortunately every time we have been here, we've had to wait until a table is vacated (despite booking for a very specific time)."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Managed to book a kitchen table facing the kitchen for lunch."
  • "The atmosphere, on an early midweek evening was very convivial."
  • "The small space has been designed well to cope with the challenges of Covid 19."
  • "Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere."
  • "A happy crowd and nice ambience too, unsurprisingly."
  • "There was a really nice ambience."
  • "There was a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff."

Cons:

  • "The only downside, which is out of their control, is how open plan the floor is so if there's a loud table in you know about it."
  • "Unfortunately, a busy Friday night meant it was rather difficult to have a conversation across table."
  • "My one complaint would be that due to the hard surfaces, it can be quite noisy in there - neither of us could hear the waiters half of the time, let alone each other!"
  • "To note, I do not recommend reserving a 'kitchen' or high top table for your meal because the tables are quite small and the tall seats are not comfortable for a full dining experience."
