Very nice ambience and food. Serving of food is slightly long, and we have to follow up twice, though it was Valentine's Day. :)

This place was horrendous, but I guess you get what you pay for. Champagne that is actually Yarra valley brut, defrosted prawns and the rest not worth sampling. What a ruinous experience

Nice venue. Rude and arrogant service by I believe the manager. Place was empty yet wouldn’t let us choose where to sit. Food wasn’t nice. Asked to order cocktails at 9pm and they said no. Would never return
