    I had an excellent business lunch today at Persone. It wasn't the first here, but I keep coming back because Persone keeps delivering. The food was tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. The service was excellent - I was warmly greeted by Colm and the whole experience was curated very professionally. I had a special request which was handled in a way that greatly exceeded my hopes and expectations. Thanks to the Persone Team - as usual, well done on a great business lunch.

    We had a wonderful time at the Zen Garden High Tea experience. We opted for this for our Valentine’s Day lunch, and it did not disappoint. We were warmly welcomed and shortly after arriving, our tray of food, along with some moody steam floating over the display, was served to us. Everything was delicious, but the stand out was the sashimi, which was delicious. We were initially worried that this might not be enough food for us, but we were definitely incorrect on this, as we struggled to finish the desert. A wonderful experience that we highly recommend.
