    The service and food at this restaurant is 5 star. Our waiter, Jill, made great suggestions and was so polite and refined. He elevated our experience. The chef, Jordan, is unbelievably talented bc every dish was made with love, skills, and obvious expertise. We’ll be back for sure.

    I usually don’t post such positive reviews but this restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was top notch and the service was really good as well. Our server was really good with his recommendations and saved us a bit of money by suggesting that one appetiser would be good enough for two people, which allowed us to order accordingly. The steak (8.5/10) was really well presented and tasted amazing. It comes with a portion of fries and salad which were pretty good, you can’t really go wrong with fries and salad so as long as it’s not bad I’m happy with it. The roasted chicken (9/10) was stunning. This may be one of their best items as the creamy sauce was quite mouth watering and has a unique taste that complimented the tender chicken breast. It has spinach in it as well and this compliments the flavours of the sauce and chicken quite nicely. The onion friend (8/10) was really good and had a good after taste. The mezze (8/10) was a good appetiser and is perfect for two people to share. The dessert was quite nice as well, and the presentation of it really catches the eye and makes it quite picture esque (7.5/10) Overall, it was an amazing dining experience and I would definitely recommend this to other people. Thank you to our server, Robin, and another gentleman whose name I did not catch.

    I had dinner and breakfast the morning after. I didn’t stay in the connected hotel but that looked nice too. Really like this place, it had a nice feel. The buzz at breakfast was good too. I have to compliment the service, was really attentive and i never waited long for food or table to be cleared etc. Good was good, but I would say the coffee was the only thing I had issue with. They are using what must be a dark roasted possibly Italian brand, and I think this lets the breakfast experience down. If they looked and using a more artisan coffee it would really elevate the breakfast experience.
