The food was JUST OKAY 3/5 and we were so disappointed because that’s the reason we went. We had the shared menu and the apps were great but the all of the main course was bland and didn’t live up to the hype. The service was amazing as were the drinks. They even accommodated for allergies and we were running late and they accommodated that too. I would go back again but just not for the shared menu as a group.

Henry was a great waiter and looked after us. The food was fabulous and the view from the restaurant was terrific. It was very crowded on the day and the noise level so so loud it made it difficult to communicate.

We enjoyed greatly the Magritte exhibition and lunch deal. the set three course menu provided a good choice of mains and many taste sensations. With the shared entrees and desert. Our table service was terrific ,as, indeed, were all staff members. There was a surprise celebratory touch when our waitstaff learned that we were celebrating a birthday.

It was just what I had hoped it would be. I sat at the counter looking over at the Finger wharves. I was happy to sit here as I could feel part of the restaurant but in a more relaxed way. The food was excellent and I was served by a very kind and attentive staff member. Thank you

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, as the manager, Shana, recognised us from previous visits and took the time to chat about the current exhibition. The food was delicious —each dish beautifully presented and full of flavour. The service is attentive and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great day out with delicious food and a unique atmosphere!
