    Nice restaurant that never fails to deliver with good choice of both food and drinks. "Gin flight" a novel idea!

    We had our wedding reception upstairs in the "terrace" as it was then and decided to revisit for our 23 Rd wedding anniversary . The summer menu of 2 corpses and a bottle of wine was amazing value and we could not fault the service or food will definitely go again

    Having eaten many times previously at Shu it was unfortunately a real disappointment on this occasion ... The standard of the steak I ordered was very poor and had to be sent back .... The replacement was only slightly better ! Assume it was a "one of" as all previous visits the food was excellent !

    The restaurant we near our guest house so an easy walk. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. The wait staff (and I think it was the chef who visited us) made excellent meal recommendations. I had a lovey tuna steak with fresh vegetables and lime seasoning and my partner had salmon with a wonderful nicoise salad, curried cauliflower and cilantro.
