    Great location, but the noise (house music) was next level.

    The staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating, going above and beyond by providing extra chairs for unexpected guests at our table. The food and drinks were both delicious. The recent renovations have certainly enhanced the space, making it even more stunning. However, it seems that acoustics weren't a major consideration, as the room was very loud.

    Great views, good food (had some share plates) and service. Visited on a late Sunday afternoon at 6pm. Only issue was the music was so loud we found it difficult to have a conversation at our table.

    Great location & spectacular views from the balcony. Too noisy inside (people & music) for me to be able to relax & enjoy the space. Inside chairs don't allow for any intimacy--I had noted it was a date when booking--and while looking relaxed, to big/spread out to have an easy convo. Background music felt like disco volume, not a place to chat. Managed to move outside, which was better all round--intimacy, noise, & great view. Drink prices (wine) were reasonable & comparable to pubs. Didn't eat--limited menu that wasn't appealing to my palate.

    We were disappointed as when we were previously here, we were able to get a proper sit down meal, no only grazing food, and expensive for what you get.

    Being a chef and being in hospitality for more than decade i would say it was very good experience. We celebrated birthday and it was our second time. Food has completely changed than before when it comes to taste. Floor staff are really great. Manager Young guy I forgot his name was really great so as floor staffs and Maria. We will see you again.
