I stopped by today during lunch time. The food was wonderful but the service was a let down, two of the female staff were rather arrogant sadly. It spoilt the whole experience, regardless of how good the food is it left a bitter taste

I like it, especially it is an ‘affordable’ dining experience few tables away from its Michelin one star sister restaurant.  Interesting experience enjoying our own yummy food while eyeing the fine dining people few tables away.  😝. Love the chicken two ways!

Excellent restaurant. Gorgeous interiour, nice quiet music, superb food and very helpful and knowlegable staff, who advised us so well on what to eat and drink.
We shared our dishes between the four of us, which was fully in the service and allowed us all to taste 13 different dishes for starters and main course.
The deserts were out if this world. Mine was 96% fruit and being a desert lover from birth, this was the best desert I ever had. Light, fruity and wish I knew how to make it.
The wines were superb too. Warmly recommended!
