                                              We spent a very nice moment for New Year Eve ! Maybe one thing, to eat on a small table was sometimes not very confortable. Happy New year !

                                              Drinks were made with high-value ingredients. Food menu did not indicate it was bar snacks (the booking did not make clear this was a bar rather than a restaurant), and price was not commensurate to the food ordered. Service was adequate, improving after issues were raised.

Amazing views, great service, our waiter Christian was very informative, he explained the menu and was super welcoming and friendly. This is what you expect from a waiter but Christian was a cut above. My colleague and I totally applaud you on what you have created at Hithe & Seek. Thank you for a great evening, and please do pass on our thanks to Christian..

                                              This was my second experience at the wine bar. I was attracted to the spot as it is located in the westin hotel where I was staying. The portions are small and the quality is just ok. For the price, I would expect slightly larger portions or higher quality. The ambiance is also just ok it was very noisy so I couldn’t feel relaxed and enjoy the views. Overall if you are looking for a convenient spot and are interested in pairing wine with a few small plates this is the spot for you

                                              Beautiful bar and the tapas were delicious. A little small and I was hungrier than expected, but definitely worth trying. Only negative is there was an issue with my bill which I didn’t realise until after my visit, but overall I enjoyed the experience and would visit again.

                                              A lovely venue, stunning views and friendly, helpful staff. One thing is that the service was a little slow, given that there weren't many other people aside from our group. I'd also expect it to be a little quicker given the premium you're paying for the food and drink. However, everyone had a great evening and we'd all be happy to revisit!

                                              Lovely interior but restaurant was empty and it is obvious why. Menu was very overpriced and food wasn't great. Larger portions for half the price would draw a better crowd. Very disappointed.

                                              The eight course tasting menu was outstanding. Artistically presented and punching some amazing flavours. Just the right sized portions so that the last course was consumed with the same relish as the first.
