It was a lovely atmosphere, staff were really friendly and service was good. Food was great! We particularly enjoyed the seafood platter and ordered a second one. Would highly recommend this place.

Looked for a nice little restaurant with a nice simple asctetic and good food for a birthday. As soon as we arrived it took 30 mins for us to be acknowledged (it was empty) the menu advertised was completely different. To be met with “we haven’t updated” decided to get drinks instead which took another 45 mins for a straight brandy. Would not recommend!

We went on a Friday night. Despite booking in advance we had a table right by the door - it was really cold so we asked to move. The food was good but the place was too busy/loud for our party. I would however try again midweek to see if it’s any better before writing it off.

The restaurant was completely empty with just our table there. The music was extremely loud and we couldn't hear each other speak or order dinner. It wasn't much lower even after we asked for it to be turned down. All in all, the food was OK but nowhere I would return in a hurry for dinner. Small plates & loud music vibe.

Me and my partner came here on our anniversary and it was the best decision this restaurant is better than any restaurant in central London. There staff are very caring & polite, I have a nut allergy and they made sure everything was okay for me. Their food is amazing it’s so fresh and so many delicious flavours it’s beautiful. Also their cocktails are out of this world! They’re not to sweet and they’re not to strong they’re just right. Hakuna Matata means no worries and that’s exactly what happens you don’t worry at all it’s like a dream in this restaurant. I highly advise to visit this restaurant it’s the best.
