I have been wanting to try this restaurant for ages. Such a lovely venue, attentive staff, great value for money. I thought the food was very good but not great. Lacking a little in flavour. We had the yum cha menu.

We tried the lamb shoulder for two - excellent plus plenty so we brought some home. A friend had the prawn and bug linguine but she was not so happy, too strong tasting. Service good and ambience good but wines extremely pricey.
