Great meal at the city garden branch for Valentine’s Day. The meal was made by the impeccable service from Iva the manager and her colleagues Miraj and Kymani (apologies on spelling). Couldn’t fault the service at all and it was so impressive that we will definitely be back!

Loved it. We came for the Valentine’s Day experience. Staff were attentive and very helpful from seating to explaining dishes and serving us promptly. Ambiance was cosy with live music and comfy chairs. Food was incedible, not a bad thing to say about it! *chefs’ kiss*

Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.
