    I took my boyfriend here the other day for his birthday and we had an amazing time. This was the first time either of us experienced a coat check for a restaurant which came as a surprise, but that was a very appreciated detail of the overall experience. Our waiter Isaac was phenomenal. He was very thorough in describing the food, as well as the reason for different things that they add to the food to enhance the aroma and flavour. He was very personable and provided outstanding customer service. The food was amazing. We had the beef Wellington experience, which was done by Isaac himself. It came out phenomenal. We also had the New York steak as well as the mac & cheese and those were also amazing. And of course to top it off, we had to have the 13 layer cake which I highly recommend. Isaac has also recommended some drinks for us, which were really good. We both really enjoy our time there and will definitely come back.

    We went early so it wasn't busy. But we really enjoyed the food and drinks . Was a cute spot for a date night or catch up with friends . We tried the coconut shrimp which was amazing ! Definitely our favourite and the lamb tartar. Burrata and was also good. The flatbreads looked more like pizza and were basic but still enjoyable. The drinks were top notch , especially the experience ones. Super cool . Was like a mini barchef.

    Another fabulous evening at our favourite neighbourhood spot! We paired the house old fashioned & Guinness with the sticky toffee pudding- absolutely divine. Hospitality from bartender Nick was 11/10.
