    I was not happy our waiter . She took forever to bring something we ordered . Not checking if we need so thing . Drinks were served after long . My friend and I enjoyed the first time with our waiter Chantizy her service was so welcoming , today’s waiter a big no from me . I didn’t enjoy the service today.

    I loved the experience. It was affordable but we got value for our money. It was my friends birthday and they gave her a dessert on the house

    I love the location and ambiance of the restaurant. I had the most delicious grilled carrots I've ever tasted. The waitresses and waiters are very attentive and friends...10/10 experience

    Service was a bit slow, definitely could be better! Otherwise, the food is reasonably priced, and delicious

    Lovely setting and presentation but the staff not trained properly.They were super friendly and willing but lacked the basics eg didnt ask how the eggs should be done, we had to ask for ice 3x, I had to go and ask if somebody could please take our order.I felt sorry for them as they are the face .of the restaurant - would still recommend and go back .

    My meal was excellent, while others eggs were not cooked to their liking. While the food is great and venu is beautiful, I think the staff need more training on the menu so they are better informed. Their lack of understanding of the menu was disappointing and the Chef who came out to explain was not friendly and also looked like a trainee who didnt know much. Staff need to have better people skills

    Hi Mershnee, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the meal and the venue. We’re sorry to hear about the service and miscommunication regarding the menu - we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better knowledge and professionalism.
