We had such an amazing time being looked after by the attentive staff and felt absolutely treated by their spectacular burlesque and belly dance performers. Their set menu provided the perfect amount of delicious food that set of fireworks in our minds. Perfectly cooked meat that melted in our mouths with flavour that left you in awe. An absolute treat to anyone that has the chance to try their signature cocktails and atmosphere.

Loved the food so much more when it was vegetarian. The vegetarian dishes altered to be made a vegan dish were all mushy / oily/ same flavor profile. Pretty disappointed with price and flavor. Presentation was beautiful, but texture and flavor was ordinary. So much different to what it used to be!

It was a really busy night, a Tuesday night, and I don’t think they were expecting soooo many people, so they were a bit short-staffed (it happens), but we had a great night. Fantastic atmosphere, piano bar music playing live, good cocktails and wine choices and we really liked the food. A great time was had by all.
