Everything I expected and more. The food was smashing, very flavoursome and beautifully presented. Whilst the food was very reasonably priced the wine was overly high in my view. None the less a very enjoyable experience

The restaurant was really empty so we were worried about why but the food was reasonable and the green tea was good. Would I go again , I’m not sure as the atmosphere and vibe was disappointing. I can imagine it obviously would be better if there were more people in the restaurant
