I hate it when restaurants put a discretionary service charge on. I pay it but would tip anyway if the food and service are value for money.And a further point is the Employer should be paying decent salaries without staff having to rely on tips for their living.

Faultless meal. Absolutely exceptional experience. I don’t usually say that unless I really mean it. The food was fantastic, chicken bao buns perfectly cooked and other guests all said their food was great. However, what lifted it even further was the service. Two lovely, polite, professionals waitresses who were happy to have a bit of a laugh (which young staff in a lot of places don’t seem to be able to do) - one who really is a credit to your establishment in particular. I wish I’d got her name to give full credit. Wine always poured and check-ins regular without being fussy. Thanks guys. Really. Lovely restaurant and ambience. Great good. Great service.
