What a find! The food is amazing as is the service. Love the atmosphere too. The only issue is that they don't have a full bar - Beer and Wine only which is a shame.

Great food. Amazing flavors and dishes. Reasonably priced. Went for lunch. Only issue was there was no hostess to seat us. We stood around for 5-10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. It was a lunch 12pm seating. Maybe they had just opened

Had Steak Frites - which come in a Korean style - loved this concept, great flavour - meat could have been a bit. more tender - albeit I understand they offer much higher quality (and costs!) cuts. Dessert was great - huge portion - had to take some home as couldn't finish. Service was lovely - genuine and friendly with a good knowledge of the menu to help with recommendations.
