    Arrived early not busy. Seated at table. Order for 3 taken but 2 meals came out together the other one about 5 minutes later. Food was tasty and decent portion size served. Staff were helpful and pleasant. We ordered dessert for 1 but it was taking a long time so I asked when it would coming. Think there was an issue with the table they use or WiFi but the order hadn't gone through. We had to cancel it as we had a train to catch, just one of those things

    I went yesterday for dinner on my wife’s birthday. Had already informed the restaurant about arranging a small decor and a cake through open tables app. Nothing was arranged and the staff seemed to be not aware of anything. I got late for 10 minutes because I was finding it hard to locate the restaurant. I booked a top floor table and when I went there my table was not available and was given for somebody else. Later I was offered table on the ground floor in the corner. And the staff at the front desk said to me it was removed for bookings a long time ago. Food was fabulous but attentiveness of the staff was below average.

    If I had known it was in a food court in a shopping centre I would not have booked the table. I am so glad that I didn’t, as we would have missed out on a nice meal. The host Tomaz was fantastic and had us laughing all night. Great value for money and really tasty food. Only down side was lack of choice when it came to alcoholic drinks.
