    The food and decor were amazing but the service let it down. The child's meal we ordered didn't arrive until after we had finished eating and nobody came to ask if we wanted another drink after the initial drinks order had been placed. We will try again as the food was so good and hope for a better overall experience.

    Service was not as good as in the past, dirty plates, empty glasses and water bottles not cleared away. Mains came out and we cleared the table to make room. Food was ok, felt desert was more size over substance. Ambience was nice, though tables and chairs too close as mine was constantly knocked by staff, I did try and get chair out of their pathway. Will not return in a hurry.

    I think this venue is absolutely incredible. The staff are excellent. The service is great. The decor is stunning. It's clear alot has gone into this place. I was quite disappointed with the food to be honest. We had the salt and pepper tofu which was OK, the massaman lamb curry which was decent bit definitely lacked salt, the spicy tuna and salmon and avacado rolls which were normal, not far off M&S's ones. We also had a set menu which included some dumplings which were very tasty but the real let down was the salt and pepper beef, it was un edible because ot was so chewy and tough, it would not break down into smaller bits which then had to be spat back out into the plate. Had the quality of meat not been so poor, it would have been a tasty dish as the flavour was quite good. Just some constructive criticism fir the resruraunt is, use better quality meat, I don't think it's fair to pay £25 for a dish you spit out because you don't want to ingest as it can't be broken down. The food was disappointing but the experience and service and quality of the resturaunt was outstanding. I think I'll go back to give it another try and just try other dishes as the resturaunt itself is beautiful as was the attentiveness if the staff.
