    Fantastic service. They were booked and our original booking only had bar table seating. When we arrived they offered alternate seating to accommodate us.

    Food was subpar - we ordered our staple slaw and cheeseburger spring rolls which were excellent but all other items ( we ordered 5 other dishes) were not great - no flavour, lacking texture, no seasonings

    The food was great but we found the server quite intrusive. There is a 15 minute grace period on the reservation but you better show up early or you will be rushed through everything. I understand there was a two hour limit on the table but the excessive service hindered more than helped. I'm no stranger to fine dining but we could barely have a conversation before being interrupted again by arms to refill our water or take away plates or constant checking in asking if we were done and feeling like we were being rushed when we still had plenty of time. We would have definitely finished sooner without having to pause every few minutes to answer the servers questions or waiting for them to be done reaching around everyone to continue eating.
