Food and service was absolutely amazing! We loved every bite. Guy who served us from starter to main meal was very friendly and polite. We were always asked if we were okay and if the food was good. My husband don’t really eat steak but that day when we dined in Big Easy, was his birthday and he loved the steak especially. Thank you guys for making our visit special ❤️

We arrived half an hour early for our booking but we were seated right away. Unusually we were initially only pointed to our table by our host before she joined us a moment later. The gap between the bench seat and table was very narrow particularly as im on the slightly chunky side. Food was good, music was good and the overall visit was good. Had previously read a review about a sewage smell but the only smell i could detect was the Bangkok spicy shrimp. Worth a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dinner was good. The restaurant didn’t seem to have our booking and mentioned that they are not linked to open table. Would be worth telephoning to confirm bookings.
