    I’m totally surprised this place wasn’t fully booked out. The food was absolutely amazing, beautiful presentation along with reasonable prices. With some of the most AMAZING staff I have encountered. To say this place was 5/5 is an understatement.

    Very nice High Tea for special occasion. Quite pricey so would only go there for special occasion. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not very attentive. Had to ask for drinks menu twice (first person obviously forgot.) Had to walk to other side of restaurant to order second drink as no staff were in the vicinity for some time.

    Miss Pearl made us feel super welcome and were accommodating with requests. The menu isn’t extensive but everything they do is standout good. Crispy eggplant, brisket bun, charred beans and chicken in master stock were all sublime. For desserts, the pineapple and kaffir lime granita with whipped coconut and the tiramisu mocha….surprising and so delicious. Can’t wait to go back and work through the rest of their offerings. Highly recommend.
