    Great food and service. Wrap up if you’re sitting on the terrace, even with the heaters it’s chilly.

    Food was incredible as was the atmosphere! Only downside is that the waiters and receptionists felt rushed / stressed when we arrived to sit us down. But otherwise it was great!

    Have eaten there before, but I think standards have dropped slightly. Food was served quite cold and there was a mixup with orders.
