Our evening was perfect, we enjoyed a delicious selection of small plates and thoroughly enjoyed the oysters with tequila. The place inhibits stunning aesthetics that gave our meal a romantic and warm ambience. Staff were graceful and represented the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant, we will be back for another gorgeous evening.

Great restaurant, tasty food, welcoming staff. Some quite spicy hot dishes, other not so much, so everybody can try and enjoy several dishes. Went there with two young children. Try the potatoes!

There was nothing wrong with the restaurant it was just ok. The food was fine but not great but the whole experience was disappointing. The staff provided the food but just lacked any understanding of creating an experience and saw their role was to deliver what was ordered and place it on the table. We won’t return to this restaurant or eat in St Katherine Dock the whole place seemed very sterile.
