    An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every course was not just a meal but a carefully crafted sensory journey—visually stunning, full of bold, balanced flavours, and matched perfectly with soundscapes and lighting that heightened each moment. The attention to detail was extraordinary, from the themed decor to the seamless service. The entertainment wove beautifully through the dining experience, adding humour, emotion, and atmosphere without ever distracting from the food. Truly one of the most immersive and memorable dining experiences I’ve had—an absolute must-do.

    The Beetlejuice High Tea was absolutely fabulous! Not only did it look visually fabulous, but it also tasted delicious. Attentive friendly service. Highly recommend before a show, or just on its own for something fun.

    Me and my friends went here for a going away dinner for me and it was the most amazing experience, on the 22nd floor with amazing views of the city. Super quiet and peaceful, although the music was a bit loud but it was fine too be honest. Drinks were so yum and the lights made the whole place feel cozy. Service is outstanding, the waiters took our jackets when we sat down and were constantly asking us if we needed anything, refilling our water consistently as well. The people behind us ordered a drink and one of the waiters pulled out a bar cart and made the drink in front of them which was cool to see. overall loved the experience and will definitely be coming back
