    The fact that we had to leave after two hours and the way the waiters talked to us made us feel like we had to be very cool to be part of the community.

    Such bad value. Serving a £12 dip with no bread, to find out one piece of bread was £8. One small lam skewer was £10 and the. ‘Mains’ were either tiny or crazy expensive. Shame because the decor is cool, and the food was interesting. Not a comfy restaurant tho. Tables are tiny, restaurant is bery dsrk and loud.

    I booked the Jazz Experience for my girlfriend and I - which we were very much looking forward to - a month in advance of the reservation date paying £60 for the pleasure. It was then cancelled at 9pm the night before and I am yet to receive a refund for the booking.
