I was blown away by the vibe of this place! Between the music, ambiance, table setting, and Christmas crackers, this place was amazing. We chose the festive menu. I don’t realize you get all of the food on the menu! I thought you chose one app, entree, and dessert. Plate after plate of delicious food came out and it could have fed six people. The only improvement i would recommend is that you need bus boys to clear the plates and empty glasses. The server kept looking for places to set down the food, however, the table was cluttered with dishes. I literally had to tell them to clear the glasses and dishes.

Jon was wonderful and very hospitable. The food was stunning and each course explained by Jon himself. A bit on the spicy side- so be aware, but high end food at a reasonable price.

The venue and restaurant are very nice, the bar has a good vibe, it's maybe a bit too loud depending what you like. The restaurant is on the top floor and the ambiance is calmer with less noise making it ideal for conversation. The food is great but choices fairly limited with only 4 starters and similar number of mains on offer. Everything we had was tasty and will presented.
