Great food (we had many of the share plates and every single one was delicious) and a fun ambience outside but under cover. Staff super engaging. Good wine list.

Had a nice family lunch. Standard pub fare but done well and food came out quickly. Bit pricy, but no doubt due to the location and the nice view. Service was good and staff helpful.

Food came to the table slow and incorrectly. Some staff were also quite rude. Meals were over priced and was not worth the amount paid. I would not recommend this place if other venues are available
