    Food good, service good but a DJ playing very loud dance music? Seriously people are there to eat and talk - NOT dance. On an inside table this noise was unbearable but even outside it was way too loud. There is no need for live music in this venue. Next time I book, my first question will be do you have live music and if so, I will book elsewhere. Such a great venue but spoilt by this.

    This our second visit and were served by the same staff and the Pizza, Special Asparagus and Basque Cheesecake were excellent. The NZ Sauvignon Blanc was also very good combined with that special atmosphere at the Exhibitionist.
