The atmosphere in the Wine Cellar is always good and booking is necessary. Our table was early and we were at a high stools table. The server came to us quickly, pleasant and informative. We ordered pizzas today and they were with us swiftly, perfectly cooked and delicious.

The atmosphere and service was really good. Our starters, the sea bass (cold dish and spicy but really tasty) and the satay prawns were both excellent but definitely not blown away by the main courses tbh. Not your typical Thai food restaurant first of all. Could be a good thing I guess but fish had bones in it, which isn't a major thing, but first time in a long time that's happened and my main course was some sort of mince meat and tasted nice but way way to salty.

We got a last minute table for two at the counter the weekend before Christmas. The service and food were amazing - it's not super cheap, but we felt like we had value for money.
