    It was a spectacular dining experience! The food was 10/10, and the team is both highly professional and friendly. I would personally recommend asking for a table near the kitchen, so you can watch the magic unfold. Be sure to go for the Tasting Menu with wine pairing – it's an excellent choice. Whether it's for a date night, impressing someone special, or simply enjoying good food on your own, this restaurant is a perfect pick.

    We thought this was an excellent restaurant and were hugely impressed with the 6 person work lunch we had. The ambiance and design of the restaurant is very pleasing - we loved the glass fronted kitchen overlooking the seating area. The menu was very well put together and the food that came out was simply outstanding and rivals many 'starred' restaurants I have eaten in. A good wine list and friendly and attentive front of house staff were much appreciated and overall we thought this was a great find. Will definitely be back.

    Creative and interesting. The food was okay. Some dishes lacked seasoning, others over salted. Desert highly recommend the Chocolate Delice, but would pass on the poached pear. Ordered- lobster-sea urchin ravioli, scallop ceviche, venison, sea bass, poached pear and chocolate delice.

    Food was excellent except for a hair in our food which staff offered to replace the dish and didn’t charge.

    Underwhelming for the price. Very small portions. We didn’t have a dish that was memorable. Extremely expensive.
