    The quality of the food is very good. The portions of the mains are small, for that it is too expensive

    Overall the family sharing option is really good value, and the food was scrumptious, no fault there. However the service was extremely poor. We waited over 15min for someone to offer us drinks (even though we were waiting for another person, drinks could have been offered sooner). The food arrived in parts (potato bake came when we were 95% done with our lunch), we received no serving spoons, no sharp knife to cut the lamb roast, the overall experience was poor.

    This was for my Wife's birthday and it was excellent. The food and service was truly exceptional. Good ambiance and customer service. The atmosphere at the restaurant was great and the art was beautiful. Thanks very much, we'll definitely be back once we're down here again.
