    Great views, wonderful service and food was outstanding. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and they had confetti on table and a signed bday card for him! Brought him out a slice of the most amazing cake with a candle. Made the whole experience really great.

    The chefs tasting menu was exceptional. Just way beyond our expectations. Having been here for happy hours only and always enjoying our meal, the chefs menu was just more than we had expected. But, to hopefully not hype it up too much and disappoint anyone, just have moderate to no expectations and you won’t be disappointed lol. Cheers! We will for sure be back for the chefs tasting menu, 1 item only was something from the main menu, otherwise you get try try items not on the menu. We had 4 starters (tuna, broccoli, salad and another leafy dish), 1 pasta (lamb), 1 protein (steak and risotto) and tiramisu. Chefs kiss.
