New update is amazing, looks great, nice atmosphere. Food was nice but for the price and serving size Ive had better. Give it a try lovely place but was expecting a bit more on the food front.

Came in with my family as a group, overall was really nice. Food was lovely and drinks were also really nice. Only downside was it was very loud with music playing and the side dishes were forgotten.

Just WOW!!!! Having visited as it first opened, we asked if we could hold our Christmas party here which we had last night. What an incredible experience, absolutely everything was faultless from the service to the food, the drinks, the rooms. Everyone had a fantastic time! We were sad to leave and wanted to just sit by that log fire and relax. If youre thinking of visiting for any reason at all, Id strongly recommend that you do - you will not be disappointed. Thanks so much guys!

The bar area is just stunning and the atmosphere is wonderful. Bartenders are very helpful, and attentive. There was space in restaurant Leone, in which we decided to have a meal. (Assuming) Manager was attentive, but also seemed rude and intimidating, waiting staff seemed a lot more approachable than him. Very noisy considering there was hardly any tables full. The booth seat was so uncomfortable, and not enjoyable when trying to eat a meal. Staff were friendly, but as soon as we finished each course waitress immediately whipped our plates away, as if they wanted us to hurry up! Way too fast paced
