    Service was slow considering we dined at 4.30pm and the restaurant was nearly empty, but the food was good when it arrived (although my burger was quite cold.)

    Excellent food and really excellent service. The mixed grill is great value considering the size of the thing, but things do get a little pricey as they add up. Still, the quality is so high that you really can’t complain too much. You are getting top quality food here. The steak especially is fabulous, and those mini corn bite things are essential eating. The chips are a delight and the dips are a surprisingly spicy affair but really great. The restaurant itself is sleek and absolutely beautiful. We sat outside in the Kingly courtyard which was great for us but is generally hit and miss given it’s a shared space with a bunch of other places. If you want that lively environment akin to a European city, then it’s perfect when the suns out. Overall it was a really lovely dining experience. Thanks to Topjaw for the recommendation, and thanks to the waiting staff and chefs who were all top tier.
