    Not the best food, didn’t taste very fresh. Services was quite slow. Lovely design and ambience, would stay in hotel but would not eat. Limited options.

    Our experience was fantastic! Cannot fault the service or food at all. The food was absolutely delicious, I had pork cutlet and it was the most juicy tender pork I've ever eaten! It was all full of flavour! My French martini on the other hand tasted watery or too much juice but it was still nice. We'll be back for certain!

    We were expecting the menu to be more upmarket, given we were recommended to go there for our anniversary meal. The food that we had was tasty but the waiter service was very poor. We had to go to get our own water after the waiter said he'd get it, and our wine still hadn't arrived by the time we'd finished our meals. Hence we left without a celebratory anniversary toast. I certainly won't be recommending it as a dining venue to any friends.
