Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "The music was pumping the whole night, the aesthetics and decor was instagrammable."
• "Lovely interior with flower walls and trees adorned with fairy lights."

Cons:

• "When you can’t hear each other at the table the volume is too loud."

• "Also way too dark in the restaurant. Couldn’t see what I was eating."
• "But the establishment seem to cater for younger clientele as bar music too loud and couldn't hear each other speak."
• "The restaurant is quite dark, we were seated near a faux tree covered in flashing fairy lights and the music was blasting so loud we couldn't hear each other talk!"

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Surprised that a 5 star restaurant can be found in a tiny town like Idaho city. Wish we’d had room for dessert! It also looked amazing! New favorite go to for a nice dinner out at a good price!"
• "The portion size was generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant fully satisfied."
• "Wonderful layout and extraordinary vibes. I was really impressed with the food, high quality at a very very reasonable price."

Cons:

• "I personally think the cocktails are over priced for mls received."
• "Mediocre service, bland food, had to chase the waiter for our food after waiting a long time."
• "A glass of wine and a whisky at the bar were £20, again way too high (comparable to casino prices)."
• "The food was lovely and it was nice to have some interesting non-alcoholic drinks available. Food served in pretty good time considering we went in a large group on a Friday night. A little pricey, but the quality of food and surroundings does justify this."
