    Truly a lovely dining experience. Friday jazz band 7-9pm is a delightful touch. Staff impeccable.

    The food was very slow in coming from the kitchen and not quite warm enough. The deserts especially took long, and it was ordered when restaurant was almost empty. The waitress however was lovely.

    Food was cold, service was not great, and the Jazz event started late. Sadly not a great experience, especially as it was a birthday gift.

    What a waste of an afternoon, I won’t be returning or referring anyone to this restaurant. The food was salty, the drinks were too sweet and the ambience was non existent.
