Rich, melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef in a crisp shell, topped with finely chopped herbs and chili. Perfectly seasoned and bursting with umami. •Sashimi Platter – A delicate selection of the freshest tuna, salmon, and white fish, beautifully plated with edible flowers, a fresh lemon wedge, and wasabi. The fish was silky and flavorful—pure perfection! •Dessert – We ended the night with a decadent chocolate mousse dessert, elegantly plated with delicate chocolate shards and raspberry sauce.

Dined here before a seeing a show on 14th Feb - had the pre-theatre menu. Thought it was very reasonably priced. Food was excellent and service was extremely attentive. Drinks were a little expensive but nothing out of the ordinary for this part of the world. 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill - as the staff were brilliant we left this charge on. Toilets needed updating, quite run down considering the rest of the restaurant, but they were clean. Only slight negative is the closeness of all the tables, we could very clearly hear conversations either side of us which was distracting. Could do with spacing out the tables more. Overall, a great experience and would definitely return.

A great place to finish off a fantastic evening. Atmosphere beautiful, service first class and a nice selection of wine

On my bucket list of place to visit.. visited on a Monday night and did not know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend to anyone wanting something different. Drinks were served quick but slow taking our food order. We did get plenty of nibbles waiting, bread sticks n olives.

The food is excellent! The service on our visit was also great! We talked to a young guy with a beard and he was excellent as well. The only thing might be that other members of the staff could work on their behavior. But it is a minor issue.
