"The worst experience I've ever had. Overal, the food was good, NOT perfect. The menu on the website is totally different from what is given to customers, it was printed on an A4 piece of paper! NOT professional. The menu was okay, but nothing FANCY on it! One of the staff was SO RUDE, we felt that he was trying to make fun of us, it wasn't only one time, he was kept bullying us when we asked something. We never come back to this resturant, NOT professional and NOT respectful!"

"My recent experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We were greeted by friendly staff, which initially set a positive tone for the evening. However, things quickly went downhill from there. Firstly, we requested tap water but were mistakenly served sparkling water and charged for it. Trying to find a staff member to rectify the issue was a challenge! When we finally managed to inform a staff member, he was less than accommodating and provided an unhelpful and rude explanation, and served us with another sparkling water on the second attempt. Fortunately, we weren't charged this time, and we eventually received the tap water. Our order also took very long time to arrive. To make matters worse, there was an inaccuracy in our order which needed one of us to wait again for their order. Also, some ingredients in our meals weren't mentioned on the menu, e.g., the cauliflower steak turned out to be predominantly broccoli, not cauliflower and had a very sour sauce, which not everyone likes! The service continued to disappoint when I had a second request for the same staff and was disappointed with how disrespectful I was treated. Finally, we decided to rectify the issue to the manager, who seemed genuinely upset by the scenario. We won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon, but hopefully they do something so that others don’t experience the same."

"The food was good but not perfect. Management was quite caring of customers. But they weren't literally careful when selecting waiters/waitress. A mid aged waiter was very rude when treating us, and specifically, ladies in our table. We ignored him a couple of times, but he kept bullying us. Raised this unacceptable behaviour with the management, and I'm hoping they'll take action. A business to keep thriving should stay away from toxic employees."

"Place is very well lit and atmosphere is modern and cozy. The two things that really took us off our senses is first the portion sizes, extremely small and second the small variety in menu selection. Ordered the entree Beetroot but it’s shocking absurd :) as well as the other plates are more a decoration that quantity. Won’t come back. It’s a shame"

"The place was lovely and the staff were very friendly and attentive. I attended in a group who all very much enjoyed their food. I might have had the fried calamari and salad. I found the consistency of the calamari slightly slimy. It May have been done in a way I wasn't used to. The others at my table tried my calamari and thought they tasted good and didn't have the same opinion as me. I had the perfect and walnut salad which was quite good with the exception of a bit too much oil for me. My overall experience of this place was very good and we had a great time."
