   Chaos at the door - lots of people queuing even those, like us, who had a reservation. Needs sorting out. Food good when ordered and came at a steady pace to enjoy the menu, but again took too long to order and get drinks. Shame as could have been 5* but need to work out their operating processes.

   Coming from a service business background and given that this is our first time here, this is the most generous review I can say about this place. First impression: The wait staff had us wait for about half an hour before they took our order, despite the fact that they walked by us numerous times and avoided any eye contact for us to make any non-verbal communication. However, the food redeemed itself to the whole experience. It came out very fast and it was very good. I think this is the case of staff training not staff shortage. Since one of us had food allergies, the staff who initially took care of us stepped away and had the more experienced one come and help us throughout the dinner. The junior staff only came to clear up the plates and bring us more water. Again, I hope this to be a more constructive review, rather than a negative criticism. Bottom line: Food is good, worth a try.
