   Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. I had made a booking so they knew we were coming. We were seated and asked if we would like water. We said yes, no water came. We had to ask for it again. One of our menus was taken before we even ordered. Once we ordered we waited over 45min for our food. I had to get up and ask how much longer it was going to be, 5 min later our food arrived. . Not once did we have anyone come and ask if we needed anything or how our meal was. I had to walk up to the waiting staff and ask for another drink. This didn’t arrive until after I paid the bill. I noticed the owner sitting in the restaurant and thought I would give him feed back on our experience, he didn’t really seem to care, only to say they were really busy with walk ins. Don’t think I will be going back or recommending this restaurant to any of my friends

   The restaurant itself looks great. Ambient lighting, good music not playing too loud, and lovely staff. The went on to impress us even more. We had the corn ribs and the duck croquettes for starters then miso pumpkin and the wagyu ribs for the mains along with polenta chips and seasoned greens for the sides. All the food was delicious! 10/10

   The service and ambience were great. However, two of our four meals were served cold and the fish in the main meal was very rubbery and overcooked, almost inedible. For the prices charged, the quality of food was extremely underwhelming. We were not offered a discount for the port quality food.

   Would definitely go back. Authentic pasta flavours and perfectly cooked ribs. Bug tails could have been larger but were tasty. A bug Asian salad with green mango would be good. Tempura vegetables were nice. A bit more variety would also make this dish better.

   We were really excited for our NYE dinner, but unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected. Upon arrival, our table wasn't ready, and we were seated 30 minutes late. Once we were seated, we waited an additional 45 minutes before receiving our drinks, and even then, we had to get up and ask for more because no one checked in on us. The entree was cold and honestly disappointing for the price, and while we appreciated the gesture of a complimentary beer for the men at the table, it didn’t make up for the lack of quality. When the mains arrived, one meal wasn’t cooked properly and had to be sent back, while another was overcooked. To top it off, the staff explained that a chef and the dishie had walked out during the peak service, which we were sympathetic to, but it didn’t change the fact that our experience was very far from what we’d hoped for. In the end, we paid full price without any discount or compensation for the poor food and service. We didn’t want to escalate things in the moment, but in hindsight, we wish we had. While we understand that things can go wrong, we left feeling really let down by the overall experience. I hope the restaurant can learn from this night and improve, as it certainly didn’t live up to expectations.

    Food was excellent and whilst the service was slow it was strange Seated and waited for over 20 minutes before we were given a menu (early 545 pm seating so not busy at all) Wasn’t worried about the time between courses just no service Empty drink glasses and needed a chat with the waiter to get the bubbles on entry and the appetiser. Staff were pleasant just slack service
