The restaurant is huge and where we sat needed a screen and plants to make it feel more intimate. 6 of us celebrating a birthday enjoyed the delicious food but the DJ playing loud music made it difficult to hear our conversation. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you wish to spend approx £55 a head.

The food was delicious! We particularly enjoyed the spicy tuna sushi rolls and the tuna tacos (except the tacos were VERY small). The ambience was nice, there’s parking onsite and staff were friendly. Our only complaint is that service was slow from start to finish, which was a shame. I would recommend this restaurant as the food was lovely and it’s good value for money. Just be prepared to wait a little longer for orders etc (unless they work on this) 🍱✨💕
