    Vibes were cool but the drinks and food weren’t worth the price. Server was awesome but I can’t recall her name. You’re mostly paying for the location.

    The staff and everything was great. We had a party of 8 and the table accommodation and the level of service was beyond expectations. The drinks were reasonably priced and I will definitely be returning again in the future.

    The only negative was I booked a table outside but it was not where we could see the boat parade so ended up going inside. Food good and drinks very good
