    First time here. Menu has such variety of cuisines it was hard to pick a starter that went with main without ending up with a random combination. Food was nice enough but not wow. They were very literal with 90 mins for the table, and had we wanted dessert we wouldnt have had time! Brought us bill without asking after saying we had 5 mins left! Normally even if you have set time for a table, its only strict if you werent actually still eating!

    Hi Nicola, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the time limit and menu variety affected your experience. We'll take this on board and hope to welcome you back for a much nicer experience.

    I was expecting very good things and it didn't quite live up to the hype. A good place to eat but not exceptional.
