We had the weekend dimsum brunch meal for £20pp. Six dishes - 18 pieces. Very good value for very good quality creative food. The tea was also good. Matcha dessert was a disappointment. Flavour sacrificed for colour & form. Service was friendly & knowledgeable however the food was brought virtually all at once which meant some of it cooled too quickly. I'd visit again but break up the order next time to slow then down.

Difficult, if not impossible, to fault. The service from arrival to departure was attentive without being intrusive. The food both excellent and beautifully presented. Great use of imagination in a number of dishes including the pannacotta. Ambiance great. Definitely one to try.
