Outstanding evening with the most warmest, charismatic and fun staff who are so obliging in a stunning aesthetically beautifully designed venue with an incredible electric vibe/atmosphere. The food was exceptional and of high standard as was the wine and drinks offerings. The saxophonist and beats guys accompanying the fantastic DJ (she is brilliant) tops off the whole vibe. Absolutely unforgettable evening with superb professional attentive friendly team, 10/10 thank you!!!
