    Good food and fast, friendly service. However, the ordering system needs to be better. There is one register dedicated to food orders and people spend upwards of 15min waiting in a queue to order meals. Very impractical if you are on your lunch break with only 30-45 minutes available. Please consider installing QR codes at the tables to speed up ordering of food.

    I booked a tall table at the bar at the start of the week. When I arrived my table was up the back corner in the bistro. The staff didn't seem to care at all.

    Arrived with a group to celebrate a work milestone we all had different dishes, wanting something light I opted for the Thai beef salad omg I couldn’t eat the beef it was chewy that I actually spat it back out in the salad, I gave it back to the wait staff, I will never bring a group again.
