We decided to try Helix for dinner (we were staying at the Vibe) and were very impressed! Although the menu is small, there were enough choices to suit all of us. The food itself was fantastic. Serving sizes were good, the taste and quality was excellent. Food was brought quickly to our table, and the staff were friendly. We will definitely be back.

We loved the food and service was great. We had an early booking prior to a theatre event but despite the empty restaurant, they sat another couple right next to us who talked loudly and made it difficult for us to talk / hear each other. The manager offered a discount so that was nice of them to acknowledge the mistake. It was the only disappointing thing and we will definitely be back again.
