        Service and atmosphere were great but the buffet was not worth the price. Very few options and there were always key components missing when we went up to get food. The kitchen did not seem to have the pace mastered for buffet style serving.

        I think that it was a bit chaotic due to it being Valentine’s. Staff were overwhelmed and people were sitting at the bar waiting on reservations. We waited 15-20 minutes to be seated a while at the bar, not once were we asked if we would like a drink.

        Staff was very confused and disorganized. Table was never cleaned after our courses, 3 bottles of wine we poured by ourselves and never by wait staff, the dinner courses arrived completely random order. Constantly had to ask for water and utensils

        good for the breakfast buffet, I have only been for breakfast so I can't judge for dinner. Not as high end as I would have expected but good enough.

        Predictably the staff and service is wicked! Thank you Fiona and team for taking care of us as usual! Todays selection seemed limited and fairly basic and expected a little more elevated otherwise great!

        Such a great spot for a weekday lunch! The food was excellent and came out fairly quickly. We had a big table, perfect for a business lunch where you need room for reviewing documents etc. They offer a 3-course lunch feature on weekdays. If you don't opt for the lunch feature, I recommend the Tuna Powerbowl!
