I had the best afternoon, I booked outside even though it was hot, we were placed under the shade (even offered inside). The wait staff were incredible, very quick at taking our orders and bringing them out. Can’t wait to go back.

Great views of our vibrant city. From the calmness of river boats to the illumination of Crown’s flames. Food elegantly prepared and presented. Cocktails of Paddington Bear, quirky but smooth to the palate. A great way to celebrate a birthday!

Celebrated my 40th with a group of friends. Had couple of tables in the corner of the trarrace reserved. It was not too loud and felt like we had our own private space, specially with very attentive wait staff who provided table service. Drinks were good without being extraordinary. Overall a great experience.
