We chose to sit in the bar to eat at lunch time. We had booked and they gave us a quiet corner seat which was ideal. We still had table service and didn’t need to order at the bar Staff were very efficient and friendly. Food was good we all enjoyed what we had ordered

This was my first time dining at Tīng with my partner, and it was a brilliant experience. The dishes were delicious but also well presented, and the dessert was a lovely finish. The service was excellent, attentive throughout. The only thing missing was being seated next to the window, but we were aware this wasn’t guaranteed, so it wasn’t an issue. Thank you for a memorable meal!
