    Very nice ambiance and fantastic staff. At nearly $100 each would have expected a little more from the food. Not in quantity but in quality, not a little quiche and sausage roll. !! Very nice afternoon though. Would recommend

    We had a booking in the atrium which felt spacious. Beautiful outdoor area with little nooks with tables. Food was good with the Reuben sandwich and spicy margarita winning at our table. Don’t bother with the vegetarian fritters, which were flavorless. Overall, great ambience, friendly service and great food. Would highly recommend.
