It’s lovely that we were greeted twice by two separate wait staff who were very friendly, but then it took time to get their attention to order. Food was amazing but with items the delicious Betel Leaf with Prawn, we really needed some wipes to clean sticky fingers. We did our best with napkins, but as an entree I felt sticky for the remainder of the meal. Awesome restaurant and there was a lovely American girl, should have got her name, but she was the hostess that I would like to see in my organisation, where I working on guest experience standards. I will be back!

I went with 4 friends and we ordered a lot of food to share. The waitress was very kind to give us a slightly bigger portion of dessert as we only ordered one pannacotta; we were so full from all the savouries. The food and service are excellent. Highly recommend!
