    Outstanding experience in terms of food, service, and ambiance. Definitely to be repeated. However, one small disappointment was the message about a 20% extra to support the salaries of the workers. Why not just pay them a living wage? We can determine the tip. You have excellent service. We would be pleased to pay.

    We booked this for Christmas lunch as it looked very quaint and romantic. We were not disappointed. A beautiful property inside an older hotel. The room was classic, clean, and distinguished and we felt like it was lovely for the type of meal we wanted to have on this special day. Our server was attentive and polite. The menu was simple as it was a special holiday. Choices were enough and we made our selections. We enjoyed our starters, entrees, and our desserts. Every bite! Wonderful!

    The restaurant, bar and lounge areas spread out across multiple rooms / terraces / levels so it is a really intimate and fun layout. Excellent service and value. Price for classic drinks skewed a tad high in my opinion. I'll try and catch a happy hour sometime and the jazz performances.
