    The starters were fine the tacos just passed and the main meal in particular the chicken was terrible and we would not be coming back unless the food gets a serious upgrade?

    Delicious food. Great ambience and attentive service. The food portions could've been bigger. Would definitely go back

    This is our second visit. The portions seemed to be much smaller than on our first visit in March and unfortunately both of us who had the prawns thought they were overcooked and mushy. The service was top class but I think the food was a bit of a let down. We are definitely going back - firstly we could have complained but did not, and secondly every restaurant is allowed an off night.

    Super disappointing experience. The food and service were average at best. The vibe and decor have so much potential to be amazing.
