It was quiet so we were able to have a conversation and it wasn't too noisy. The service was good, seems like a small family run. We had small plates as hunger wasn't top if the list . The salmon gravlax was good , I think the portion size was too small . The squid was the right mount The Fuji Mocktail was so addictive ...enjoyed it. Will head back

I’d say everything was just average. Disappointed theatre menu consisted only of a cheeseburger or fish and chips or vegan option. Had a long wait for everything with showtime approaching. With service charge a cheeseburger a fish and chips and one drink (which was excellent) was over $75 pounds. Will look for other options next time.

Food was well presented and tasty. However, menus stated came with pickled egg and curry sauce, both missing, but still on the menu. Sadly we didn’t realise until we left and reflected. Pleasant server although wrong cocktail delivered it was quickly changed. Nice enough but wouldn’t recommend for a special occasion especially with 15% added for service.

Firstly, please accept my apologies for our team not recognising the birthday celebration. This is certainly not our usual standard and I am very sorry for any disappointment caused. With regards to the menu and items not being available I have discussed this with our team and they will be taking the appropriate action to ensure this is rectified immediately. I do hope that we can welcome you back one day.
