"It's such a cute little place. It was nice and quiet when we went there, which was pleasant as I'm not a big fan of crowds."
"The atmosphere, modern Interior, and really friendly staff means we will definitely be coming back!"
Cons:
"The vibe is interesting as it is a bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs so it’s a bit loud in the evening."
"Unfortunately when I went the place was reaching capacity, meaning increased noise, a few ordered items were forgotten."
"Tables were sticky and needed a wipe, glasses and crockery left on other tables in the room and not cleared up."
"The HappyCake however were amazing and fluffy, the terrace was a nice leafy spot to sit in as well."
"Staff were absolutely delightful, so friendly, kind and efficient."
"The music was rather loud from the bar area...difficult to hear my friends' conversation."
"A good bar/restaurant but the three floors don't integrate at all."
"The scene in the restaurant is kind of odd with a disco ball which was weird while eating."
