Our Christmas dinner at Essence was perfect in every way. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly served. The staff were very warm and friendly. All the thoughtful little extras were much appreciated. Everything was memorable and special and we may make this a family Christmas tradition!

Overall it was very nice but we didn’t understand why the waiter told us we couldn’t have the champagne that we had selected to have with our afternoon tea and could only have Prosecco. It was an option on the menu however, they were unable to serve it to us. The waiter mumbled something, we thought he said they couldn’t open a whole bottle of champagne for two glasses.

We had a fabulous lunch at Casa Vecchia. Lydia, Carlos and the rest of the team were all, as always, super friendly and super efficient, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very festive. I can't fault our visit. We had a baby with us and we were given the ideal table, with room for the buggy and all the paraphernalia. It was a meal to remember for all the right reasons and we definitely look forward to visiting Casa Vecchia again soon. Thank you everyone for making our visit so enjoyable! Lis Key

Rocca: A Delicious Introduction to Greek Cuisine Rocca was my first experience with Greek food, and I have to say—it was incredible! I stepped out of my comfort zone by trying something new for both my starter and main, and I’m so glad I did. Each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, making the entire meal a memorable one. One of the highlights of the evening was the open kitchen. Watching the chefs work their magic, flames and all, added a theatrical element to the experience. The evening started quietly, which allowed for attentive and efficient service from our server. However, as the restaurant filled up later in the night, the service naturally slowed down a little. This was completely understandable given how busy it got, and the staff still made sure we were well looked after. Rocca also catered wonderfully to all our needs, and their cocktails were truly fantastic. If you’re a cocktail fan, I’d recommend giving them a try. Overall, Rocca was a wonderful introduction to Greek cuisine, and I’d happily return for another meal. If you’re looking for flavorful food, a buzzing atmosphere, and great drinks, it’s definitely worth a visit!
