    An absolute beautiful secure setting with a vibe for any age. The variety of Asian canapes that we had was delicious to taste with very flavourful sources. Management and staff makes one feels at home with excellent service. Would definitely make a date night on my next visit.

    Excellent service, delicious Asian inspired food, and the ambience was even better with a very talented live musician. We can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

    Small plates were delicious. Mains Korean Chicken Burger was tasteless and disappointing. Cocktails are nice, however glasses are not filled properly and it feels like you are served a half glass. Service was friendly but inconsistent in terms of finding the wairess when needed.
