    It was Valentines Day. The table was decorated nicely and they had live music. Though we were 5 minutes early, they seated us right away. The friendly staff provided free prosecco and a little funky starter. Felt like it was going to be a great evening. However, things fell apart after that. One of our drinks came in a broken glass. It took 10 minutes to flag a staff member down. They seemed to all be frazzled and not prepared for how full the restaurant was. Our beautiful looking appetizer came out promptly but we had no side dishes. Server said she would get some. We waited 15 minutes and then asked the bartender for some. He directed a waitress to bring some over but still took another 10 minutes. By that time our food was cold and we had to send it back. The new one was quite good. Our mains once they arrived were plated great though were quite undercooked and had little flavor. All this for a $200 bill, didn't seem worth it.

    It was Valentines Day so very busy! They had live jazz music which was such a nice touch and each table had flowers and little heart candies and they gave us a glass of Prosecco to toast. The servers were very busy but we didn't mind since we were in good company. The food was good and tasty but the overall feel of the building couldn't be matched and I was in love with the little touches. Best part of the dinner was the dessert for me but I know my partner seemed to love his main dish and the experience with the prawns. Overall a lovely experience for a first valentines and we will definitely be back again :)

    Our first visit, but will not be our last. Not your average men, which made it a unique experience. Very friendly staff and great service.

    This was our first time eating here. I have wanted to try it for quite sometime so we went on New Years Eve when they had a set menu. We liked the ambiance and the service but the food, not so much. We are foodies and we had high expectations for this place. Our appetizers and desserts were good but our main courses were not. My husband had the smoked Cornish hen. It was very dry and had no flavour. I had the surf and turf, and was told that it was a striploin steak with 3 large shrimp. The steak was a joke! It was a flat fast fry piece of meat with no flavour. The roasted potatoes were covered in brown stuff that was awful. The only thing I really ate was the shrimp, they were quite good. The other thing that I disagreed with was the added 20% gratuity to our bill. The service was good so we would have tipped that amount anyways but to automatically charge it was very presumptuous. I had high expectations for this place, but sadly we won't be back. Our bill was over $300 and definitely not worth it.

    From the moment you walk down the stairs and into the restaurant, you feel like you're in a different country. The food was incredible and the pricing is what you would expect for a fine dining experience.
