It’s definitely worth it for the great live music and atmosphere, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. But the prices are a bit steep and I found the fish from the fish and chips a bit bland, some more seasoning could have gone a long way. I’d say it’s worth going once to see what it’s like and enjoy a nice date, but it’s not a place I’d become a regular at.

The food is phenomenal, service is faultless, and the ambiance is great. Steak in particular was delicious, and chips were cooked to perfection. The desserts were so beautiful we felt bad eating them! Will definitely be back and also recommending to others.

We had a great time celebrating both our birthdays ! The food and entertainment was brilliant . If anything, the lights affected sensory issues with sensitive to light , but there are many other areas that offer subtle or less lights ! We will definitely be back…
