A lively restaurant with a good selection of dishes at a reasonable price. Portion sizes for the 'small share' dishes were larger than expected. We experienced a wonderful service by our server.

Food was unreal and cocktails were unique. Live DJ was a nice touch as well. Didn’t give 5 stars because the restaurant was overcrowded and staff took a while to notice us. Perhaps it wasn’t table service - but that never was made clear to us, and the bill was brought to the table when we asked for it. The seating layout was awkward too, we were wedged in between two longer tables diagonally.
