    Visiting Asara was really a wonderful experience , the relaxing atmosphere was just amazing, the friendly staff went out of their way to welcome us , the food and beverages was just great , well done Asara , I think more effort should be made to market this venue as too many us missing out on this amazing place.

    We made a booking for lunch but they had to set our table up when we arrived, and there was just one other table so it wasn’t as if they were very busy. The staff were friendly and attentive but then another group arrived and we were left to try and find a server to order more drinks. It was very frustrating, They have a ‘build your own burger’ menu, which is a good idea but the burgers were very dry. Not really worth it.

    Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you found our team friendly and attentive at the start of your visit, and that you enjoyed the concept of our build-your-own-burger offering. We’re truly sorry to hear that the latter part of your experience did not meet your expectations. While our team checks in with guests regularly and strives to maintain attentive service throughout, we regret that you felt you had to seek assistance at any point — that’s never the impression we want to leave. Regarding our table settings, we follow a practice of preparing tables with essential items and then adding cutlery and tasting glasses according to each guest’s preference, ensuring a personalized experience. We understand that this might have felt unusual and will certainly keep your perspective in mind.

    Food 10/10, customer service 10/10 but the site must be updated and price change must be updated for wine tasting

    The staff made sure I enjoyed my birthday celebrations by playing a birthday song and giving me a brownie on the house. That was very sweet and kind, and it’s a beautiful venue!
