    Food was good. Service by waiters was outstanding. Friendly and attentive. Really liked how they had separate waiters for drinks and food. The one big negative was the hostess who sat us who set a negative tone and vibe. Also the restaurant is LOUD so if you're going for a more intimate or business dinner, I'd pass. Overall, it was good, not great.

    We are not happy about the waitress of our table. She was very late for getting our orders. That's why the manager came to our table and got the order almost 15 minutes after we sat to our table. She has never smiled to us during the dinner. she seems unhappy maybe very tired. We asker for balsamic vinegar for our salads. While pouring the balsamic vinegar bottle into the salad, the lid completely opened and the vinegar spilled onto the table and the salad. I saw that the lid was not tightened at all, this is a huge negligence. This is a mistake that should definitely not happen in a restaurant of this level. I was having a meal with my family. What a fiasco it would be at a business dinner or a date. The restaurant manager offered to change my salad, but the problem was probably not with the manager but with the service staff. In this meal where we paid 226 GBP for three people, we were not at all satisfied with the service despite being satisfied with the food. Check when using salt, oil and vinegar, this kind of accident can happen to you.

    Good food and ambience. I had a table for 7 adults. They need to work on service. Balsamic vinegar got spilled on the table. Wine pouring was messy. I ordered 2 bottles and both times, the pour spilled all over. This was not the experience I received few months ago.
