Beautiful interior design reminiscent of the Viennese cafes of the late nineteenth century; suffused with japonisme. I felt elevated as soon as I walked in. I had an early morning Full English breakfast, that was very tasty and well presented. The waiting staff were smartly dressed and attentive, and very professional. A wonderful treat and I highly recommend it.

My group of Girls and I arrived before our allotted time. The front desk was busy but well organised. We were greeted by two smiling faces and our coats were taken. We were shown to our seats and the friendly staff remembered it was our friends belated Birthday celebration, and the table I requested was available. Our Server was attentive but not overbearing. He forgot to ask if we needed any condiments and when he did remember, he didn’t bring them. A part from that, we received very good service. To finish things off. Our friend was given a lovely little treat with Happy Birthday beautifully written on it. This was not my first visit, and each time the service, food and value for money never disappoint.

Beautiful venue. Service was okay but waitress was not friendly. Food was okay but bland. Prawn and avocado cocktail presentation was lovely but prawns were sliced so I think we only had two prawns in total so not worth the money. Also needed seasoning.
