    We got the main course prior to the starter. The burger bunny had pieces of bones inside

    This does not at all seem like the restaurant it was when it launched 3 months ago. Apparently celebrity chef Richard Carstens has left, and the menu has been completely overhauled. Based on photos online, it was a much fancier experience. When we visited the staff were super friendly but nervous and inexperienced, and even some items on the already much simplified menu were unavailable.
