    This was possibly the worst burger I have ever eaten. Even worse, was that 4 bar staff didn’t once ask how our food was. Prior to paying, I explained why the meal was so terrible to the bar staff taking the payment. She didn’t understand what “gristle” meant, and I had to explain it. All she said before she took full payment was “oh. Sorry” with a confused look. The service and food was absolutely terrible. This was a shame as it’s a lovely venue.

    Dear Kim, I am sad to see that your experience last night was not great at all. We have already spoken to the kitchen team regarding to the burger issue, and we will make sure this will not happen again. Please accept my deep apology and if you come back next time, we will deliver the best service and the food quality to you and your guests. Sincerely, Danny Wu Restaurant and Bar Manager

Your feedback is truly invaluable and has been shared with our team so that improvements can be made, as this is not indicative of our usual high standard of service. We would truly appreciate the opportunity to welcome you back so that you can experience the changes made to our services. Kind regards, Denis Basset Food and Beverage Manager
