I’m not impressed at all with this restaurant, I’ve walked past many times over the years and finally had the opportunity to dine there. So I was looking forward to our dining experience.. our table wasn’t ready so we had to stand in the middle of the restaurant while they cleared our table and we were in everyone’s way. Then we ordered drinks which we prompt but no drinks menu. Then we ordered our dinner… it took 45 minutes to arrive, way too long in my opinion to wait for food. I ordered the lamb shank which was swimming in grease, no table check back, no offer of more drinks.

Managed to squeeze in cocktail order when menus were provided but after cocktails were finished took a while to grab attention to order more drinks. Not to say that staff are slow or lazy but just seemed like there was not enough people, at least to begin with. The food was worth the wait in the end (4.7 stars for food alone).
