    We got served reluctantly, 2 drinks each in 2 hours, it wasn't even that busy. 2 staff were more interested in the girl sitting at the bar. Server taking orders kept disappearing and took forever to get his attention. There was only 5 tables being used so less than half full, extremely slow service and complete lack of professionalism. The seating and decor were nice and comfy but that's it. Do not come here if you want a good night!

    It’s a lovely spot for a REALLY good cocktail. I will say that they add in a service tip out of nowhere which seems a bit uncommon in Europe when you’re only having drinks. I went on a Thursday and the place was very empty, so it’s a good spot for a more intimate occasion or when you’re looking to be able to have a conversation. The interior is gorgeous and the service was good!

    A flood prevented us from dining but nobody contacted me to say that we couldn't dine there so we had to try to find an alternative venue with no notice. I later found a message buried in OpenTable but a phone call to diners would have been the sensible response. If a restaurant can take the time to call to confirm a reservation they should respond in kind when they cancel it. Utterly unacceptable.

    Went here for an after dinner birthday drink as I’ve been very excited to go since hearing of its opening. The decor and ambiance is fabulous. Dark, quiet and cozy with nice jazzy lobby music on in the background. Cocktails were delicious. Small menu but they happily obliged us in a request for an off menu cocktail. Not overly priced but not cheap. Nice for a special occasion tipple. Will be back again for sure. Didn’t eat(not sure they do food) but if they do I’m sure it’d be just as good as the drinks.

    Quiet bar with great atmosphere. Disappointing that 4 cocktails on the menu were unavailable. Seems like a big problem for a cocktail bar.

    We attended as a group, we had two servers during our time. The first of which was very lovely & offered a great service. The second server made us feel very uncomfortable & wouldnt let us pay for what we had ordered, all guests had to split evenly but some of us hadnt even had a drink, after disputing this the server wouldnt let us see the bill or tell us how much we had to pay. So we are still unsure if we were overcharged etc - very strange that we werent allowed to know how much we were paying never had this before. In the end she gave us all the cash back. Great venue though just a shame that we had this situation.

    Lovely ambiance. Waiting staff were nice. VERY unimpressed with one of the cocktails I had . It was a small glass with a giant ice cube in it. It was ridiculous . Such a rip off

    Fab decor but felt that the presentation of the cocktails was poor. Small cheap looking glasses with with no garnishes. Not very ascetically appealing and not worth the money. Staff on the other hand were brilliant and so efficient. Not sure if I will be back to be honest

    They added a service charge for our group of 4 and here it says service charge is added only for groups of 6 or more.
