Extremely noisy. The food and service was good, however we were seated next to a table of 20+ men who were screaming and shouting throughout the evening from the moment we walked in. On top of that, very very loud music was played, which without the other table would not have been a problem, however due to the two combined we could not hear a word anyone at our table was saying. We legit had to ask eachother (sitting right next to eachother) to repeat ourselves several times and would have to shout at eachother in order to be heard. Several people at table left the restaurant with a headache and had to take paracetamol after returning home.

Early booking 5.30 Starter was fabulous Main course very disappointing. I had chicken pad Thai Noodles I couldn't eat them,felt like I was eating strips of plastic . It was the first time I did not finish my course and the first time I mentioned to staff that I couldn't eat the meal. Server said she would mention to the chef,but I got no feedback. I ordered dessert and coffee,no coffee arrived. One of my guests ordered a second beer,it too did not arrive. When our bill arrived,our server informed me that my main course and dessert were not included in the bill. Nice gesture but overall was disappointed with our experience.

Absolutely amazing food with impeccable service... Not once did we feel like we were waiting too long. The waitrons would show up seemingly ahead of one realizing you needed something, whether that be a new drink, or an extra fork. Q
