The ambience was much better than the google pic reflected. We did go at a busy time, and had never been there before. However, we did say we may go there next year for our catch up lunches with family…Prefer table service re ordering of food, but we waited until the line was small.

Good food and fast, friendly service. However, the ordering system needs to be better. There is one register dedicated to food orders and people spend upwards of 15min waiting in a queue to order meals. Very impractical if you are on your lunch break with only 30-45 minutes available. Please consider installing QR codes at the tables to speed up ordering of food.

I booked a tall table at the bar at the start of the week. When I arrived my table was up the back corner in the bistro. The staff didn't seem to care at all.
