    We were very happy we came here! We don't normally bring our 10yo daughter to nicer places but the experience was fantastic. Sam is such a kind person and we are always taken care of with them. We were in a time crunch to go see a performance close by and the team made us ready to go right on time. Food is always spectacular, atmosphere is lovely.

    Afternoon tea was fabulous and so beautifully presented! Had the best time with my aunt and 2 sisters for a joint birthday celebration. Accommodated my gluten free allergies so kindly and the special touches with the flowers 🌸 everywhere! Even on the tower. We will be back for Valentine’s Day!

    The waiter in particular was very chatty and helpful. We had a fun time. Also noteworthy, the chef has gone out of his way to deliver variations on popular dishes. As we have eaten in many South Asian restaurants getting a creative spin on old favourites is a very good thing indeed. a very worthwhile evening!
