in the last weekFood delicious great portions. The duck and the Pork belly were delicious. The modern renovation are just great. Great atmosphere for a chilled lunch or dinner. Staff needs to be more attentive.

a month agoIt’s a nice restaurant, the entrance can be a little confusing for first time visitors. Looks elegant and seems to be very busy. We were here on a Sunday and booked late so we were seated in the booth which I quite liked. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Drinks were good and food was just okay.

a month agoFood was certainly amazing. Probably 20/10. The service, however, lacked greatly, at some point, our servers kept changing, we really weren't sure who was serving us and waited for a considerable amount of time to get some attention. Atmosphere was good, it was full so very loud but still good.

3 months agoThe food, the vibe, and the aesthetics are all unmatched. It is an all rounder. It is good for brunch, lunch and dinner. Be sure to book in advance and note the dress code as smart casual! The sister establishment (Pantry) has allday breakfast and no reservation is required and you can go in sweatpants .

6 months agoHad the best Sunday evening here a few weeks ago! I love the new renovations, the place looks amazing. The decor is so sexy & understated. Gives a perfect ambience & makes you feel like you’re in a Hollywood film . The staff were super friendly & helpful. A far cry from my very first time here when the waiters were rude & seemed overwhelmed. The food was PERFECT! I had the mussel starter, which was such a big portion that I didn’t finish my mains. For mains I had the pork belly which was even more wonderful a day later after I’d warmed it up for lunch. My only criticism is that the food is super rich & the portions are big, so leave your diet at the door please! I’m super glad that they separated the people who want a loud vibe from people who want a nice relaxed meal. You can still hear the music from outside but it’s not too bad. I want to go back & try the rest of the menu, this will be my go-to place moving forward!
