Beautiful building with great atmosphere, host who seated us was great & offered options for inside or outside. Service was downhill from there- we didn’t get one starter at all, & one of the 6 mains didn’t come, it took a full 25 minutes for it to arrive and the rest of us were finished eating. We had to go inside to the bar to order more drinks because we had no server. All the staff was friendly & apologetic but I wouldn’t go back given other options.

Disappointed – Not Worth the Hype I booked this restaurant for a special birthday lunch after seeing great reviews, but the experience was underwhelming. Despite noting the occasion, there were no special touches, no candle, dessert, or even a simple acknowledgment. The booking process was frustrating too. Even after reserving via OpenTable, I had to confirm multiple times via SMS and phone, which felt outdated and inconvenient. Service was inflexible. I asked to swap goat cheese for Parmesan in the apricot salad and was told no. We also ordered a medium-rare steak, but it came out medium-well. Overall, the food was mediocre and didn’t match the hype. I won’t be returning.

Service and food were pass and at best. Having a brunch menu at 14.00 is a bit nuts. Ordered avocado toast and poached eggs were stone cold. Staff were friendly but were nowhere to be seen for most of our time there. We will definitely not be returning.
