    My wife and I shared the 6 and 9 course tasting menus. The food - every course - was absolutely divine. Sometimes 1-2 of the courses are not so good, but in this case all courses were excellent and we devoured every morsel of the food. Wine list was also good value, and we specifically wanted to comment on the service which was polite, attentive to a level of detail that we felt well far beyond what is normally expected. Massively impressed by this and we will be back - my wife remarked that if we lived closer we would be there all the time. Simply wonderful

    I thought the design of the venue was really nice, the bar looked lovely. The service was really good, our waitress would come over and check on us and was helpful. The dj they had that evening was really good as well, the music wasn’t to loud which meant you could still have conversations.

    We had the weekend dimsum brunch meal for £20pp. Six dishes - 18 pieces. Very good value for very good quality creative food. The tea was also good. Matcha dessert was a disappointment. Flavour sacrificed for colour & form. Service was friendly & knowledgeable however the food was brought virtually all at once which meant some of it cooled too quickly. I'd visit again but break up the order next time to slow then down.
