Decent service but food wasn’t restaurant quality, more like a bistro type place with average food at best.

The ambiance was great, but the value for food wasn’t there for us. While the flavors were good, the portions were very small for the price, and there was no explanation of the menu that we may need to order double the food to leave full. The table next to use also seemed to have the same issue. Staff was friendly, and the vibe was nice. Worth a visit, but not sure we would come back.

The theme/decor of the restaurant was different and very nice. The area we were seated in was very nice and quite private but also quite dusty and a little dirty in places. The waiter was excellent and the food was very nice and full of flavour. However, the food was very expensive for the amount that you receive. I think that the fact you have to pay for each individual part of your dinner isn't great and the sides were very overpriced. £9 for some broccoli! £9!! Crazy! Would I return? Probably not. If the sides were a bit cheaper or if you had one included with the main at least then I would consider it as the food was very tasty but I did feel a little ripped off when paying the bill.
