    We were quickly seated at a quiet spot and our waiter explained the menu options. He knew were had a limited timeframe for dinner so offered some guidance on ordering. He was attentive to our drinks, refreshing or refilling as required. The food was flavourful with fresh garnishes and in a simple presentation. The dish was delicious as were the other entrees at our table.

    Server ruined everything… Food was good, squid was well done! But it took 1 hour for the entree to come, and meanwhile, server didn’t check in with us once, water was out for 40 mins and we had to beg for “please can we get some water” and she responded with a cold face, not even “sure”

    We had the cod special and it was very blend. Tight space and somewhat loud ambience. Not great for a business lunch meeting.
