The outside of the restaurant is dark and easy to miss, but the interiors were in stark contrast: It's decorated tastefully for Valentine's Day and the seating is cosy but spacious and the whole setup looks very efficient and welcoming. The food was of high standard and the service was on point. Would definitely return.
