Food was good although the service was not great. The waiter wasnt knowledgeable and they took very long to serve us, even though it wasnt that busy.

The starter and dessert was lovely, but being a vegetarian they only had one option on the menu which was vegetable curry and rice. The sweet potato wasn't cooked properly and the rice was hard. They should definitely add more vegetarian options on the menu!

Fantastic lunch with a small handful of girlfriends. The food was delicious and we definitely enjoyed our champagne! Our server was attentive without being intrusive and we had a great time.
