    I took my husband there for his birthday dinner when we got there I was impressed with the set up of the place I loved the decor it is a beautiful dining area. Our waiter Luvyo welcomed us made us feel special from when we entered until when we left. His service was excellent he checked in with us regularly to see that we were enjoying our meal. He offered to take pictures of us on our phones to create beautiful memories. He even organized that my husband got a happy birthday sign on his dessert and he made my husband feel extra special as he sang happy birthday to my husband. Luvyo was so humble, kind and respectful and made us feel so special we rate his service a 10/10. The food and dessert was delicious we had the steak and the malva pudding was enjoyed by my husband I had the lemon meringue dessert for the first time and I enjoyed it. We had a great evening and would definitely come back again and refer your restaurant to our friends and family. Thank you for the excellent service Luvyo.

    Impressing conversion of a bank to a boutique hotel. I like the Caracter of the place -* a mix of history, industrial and greens... The menu was interesting and quite wide. I picked the lamb shank. It was a bit fatty, but the dressing and the sides were very tasty. Friendly staff and enjoyable background music. Good value for money. A good evening spent.
