    Great atmosphere - choice of cocktails definitely complements the food - sangria was amazing. For starters we had mixed dumplings and wasabi prawns. Both were big serves and full of flavour. Full duck was plenty for 4 people - lots of pancakes and condiments. Would recommend for food, value, service and vibe.

    I am a great fan of Neil Perry and I realised this may be the last chance to savour his excellent asian cuisine at Songbird before it closes. It was great - the food, the service, and all were outstanding. The wine suggestions by the wait staff were excellent. I hope the new venture works out well
