Romantic setting, cool vibe and certainly different feel to your traditional restaurant. Almost a jazz bar feel without it being a lively music venue. New Sri Lankan menu which was fabulous. Along with a great selection of wines to choose from, plus non wine options.

Thanks for your wonderful review! Thrilled you had a great time. Hope to see you again in 2025 for our new menu in Turbine!

Booked dinner for 6 people tonight after see this beautiful venue in Entertainment book. I am not happy with the billing service as we are over charged . Communicate with manager today with positive outcome . Still waiting for refund. Food quality needs lots of improvement. Dry meat. over cooked. Portion is very little . Serving 3 plates for 6 ppl on the table . Never tried fine dining with two to share one ice cream in one bowel . I expected one plate with reasonable portion . The portion serving for two is like "half" size than usual size. "One piece of fish" for two people ? Very weird !! One icecream for two people to share? Mmmm.... speechless... $79 for 5 course is not valuable for the quality and quantity . Staff are inexperienced . I know it is hard to find experienced staff in countryside. I wish this is can be improved . The place is beautiful . I think the view is better in summer time.

Wow! Amazing vibe of this place from the moment you open the door. Dark, moody, perfect for a date night or intimate dinner with friends. Every course of the set menu was fabulous. Extensive wine list and cocktails to die for. Highly recommend and will return.
