    We went early afternoon so it was nice and quiet. We were quickly seated and served. Staff were attentive without being intrusive and food was excellent. There were nice gaps between each element and I can imagine when a little busier the place would have a nice vibe. Would recommend as also thought price was reasonable.

    Food was excellent but the service was poor. While our waiters were kind and polite (and despite loads of staff with only a few tables busy) the service overall was very slow and felt awkward as there was barely any conversation.

    Images online show you some vibe. But was so empty and so sad place that plan to do afternoon tea change to regular menu. Disappointed!

    We love this restaurant! First discovered it in 2016. We came back on March 31,2025 and we had to return April 4, 2025. Servers Yulian and Mahesh were amazing. Stay after for a night cap in the bar! Great food, great service in a casual atmosphere. They also play great music! We will probably go back a third time before our departure!
