Overall, the food and drinks are good. The service is also good except that we keep reminding the servers for our additional order. The place itself is cosy and nice to hang out with friends. I'd say it's not really family friendly because there is no lift for kids and buggy. But, the staffs are friendly enough to assists us in bringing our buggy up and down. Also, place was so warm when we were eating, barely find it relaxing. All in all, I highly recommend it especially if your celebrating parties wherein you're wanna hanging out with friends with nice food and good drinks 🍸 😉
