    I came with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and I was happy I booked this place. Florian, who looked after us, was very professional and friendly, making sure we are having a great experience. We felt welcome and look after. The service and food was 10/10. I will recommend this place to my friends and will definitely visit again. Fabulous view

    Great place with great views. Service from Rachid was excellent. Seating was not great. Right under the AC on one of the coldest nights of the year. Was it necessary to have it blowing cold air on such a cold night? Starters were luke warm at best. They were taken off the bill. Main was better but partner was not allowed to change any of the dish. Wanted to swap sprouts for beans and was told no. Not sure if I’d visit again.

    The staff and service was amazing, from front desk, bar and servers! They really took care of us. Food was mediocre. With this place you will definitely be paying for aesthetics and not good quality food. We ordered the sea bass which came on a bed of risotto/barley, that was bland! We ordered a medium rare steak which came more to the medium side. Perhaps with it being Xmas it was too busy and the restaurant was overwhelmed.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the service, I would like to apologise if the food you had was not up to scratch, it's not a regular occurrence for us and we pride ourselves on providing excellent service that matches the quality of our food. However, I will look into the issues you have raised so we can further improve. Kind regards.

    We had booked here for Christmas date night before going see Wicked at the Cinema, booking was very easy through the OpenTable app. The restaurant called a few days earlier to check our booking needs and I’d said then I wanted a romantic table. We checked in at the main door and asked to place our coats in the cloak room( which was professionally managed ), the elevator was express to the 20th floor and the moment you exited, you was met by the beautiful ambience of the bar and restaurant. We were sat next to the window ( as requested ) and had a perfect view of the city Ordering was straight forward and simple, food arrived promptly and perfectly dressed The whole was just perfect Absolutely 10/10 for the whole experience
