    Overall very good. Food was great, left very satisfied. Service was good, everyone very friendly but could have been better. Took a while to clear dirty plates, order more drinks and forgot a drink as well. Minor things overall, but thoroughly enjoyed the food and evening.

    We have dined here 3 times now Lunch, and dinner twice. Service is always impeccable, the girls are the best, (we have only had female wait persons). Drinks are served on time. We usually order cocktails, beer and spirits. Good value for money I believe. Lychee daiquiris are the best but are only available on special. Food is awesome, very authentic I believe, large plates. We have had 3 courses, all being outstanding. Bar is well stocked. We are customers for life and will actually hope to dine this weekend again! Thanks to everyone.
