   Food was tasty, beautifully cooked. Unfortunately it all came out at different times and order of food was not congruent. Eg, rice was delivered at the end of meal. Drinks were over priced, especially wine by the glass. Our table was far too small. Not enough room for plates and glasses and share plates. Table service was poor, our plates and glasses were not cleared and we felt ignored. There were too many customers, it felt very claustrophobic and the music choices were fine, but way too loud. Hopefully this feedback is constructive.

   What a fantastic Sunday lunch. We had the tasting menu, which was superb. The new look restaurant is moody colours with a nice looking bar and seating area. The place was not very busy so it was quiet and the music selection was perfect. The tasting menu covers seafood, chicken, steak and dessert. The highlights were the sashimi, BBQ prawns and the wagyu, though it was all very good. We started with cocktails, which were pretty but a bit weak flavoured for our tastes. We then enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine with the meal. Service was well paced, friendly and competent. We are looking forward to our next visit.

   Great new addition to Keira at dining. Standout was the spicy tacos and the corn ribs. The cocktails were outstanding!
