    While understanding that it’s a new restaurant, it was terrible. Food arrived almost 2h late. 3 of the 5 items ordered were out of stock. Service was awful. Still waiting for my Coke Zero. Very expensive.

    Food and general ambiance was “ok”. However, the service was excruciatingly slow !! Waiters also did not know the days specials for example which simply talks to poor training. The restaurant ran out of coffee beans !! It took 20 mins before we were informed that coffee was “unavailable”. A number of fellow patrons experienced similar challenges with their orders. Perhaps just a bad day, but it was a really poor experience.

    Beautiful venue with a fantastic vibe. Super friendly staff, great service and scrumptious food. Highly recommended.

    It’s a lovely spot but I was very underwhelmed. The round tables are too small for a family of four. The food arrived lukewarm. Our waiter seemed quite stressed out and the service wasn’t proactive.

    I ordered the pistachio and ricotta pasta. The pasta wasn’t even cooked and there was zero flavour. Sorry but I really didn’t enjoy this meal. My friend ordered the prawn risotto and she didn’t enjoy her meal either
