It as a busy Saturday night. Staff understandably busy, hence everything took longer than usual. In the end, we had enjoyed with evening topped off with tiramisu.

First visit to this place and the food was amazing. We were advised that on game days they can’t serve glasses but can still have a tempered glass to have a beer in. Overall the food and service was excellent although very noisy due to being there on game day but a great atmosphere. Want to now try the Yum Cha
