When we got there, the restaurant was mostly empty. They couldn't find our reservation at first and made us wait while they figured that out while there were 90% of the tables available.

We ordered and were told they did not have either of our dishes, so we chose something else. It took 1hour and 20 minutes for us to get our mains - 40 minutes to get one starter of prawns. Then we were only given one of our sides and when we asked about it, were told they ran out of the side and couldn't give us the other. They explained that they had a very busy day and were out of most items. It was disappointing but we were willing to be flexible. The time we waited was unacceptable as, again - no one was in the restaurant so they were not busy, and there were plenty of chefs in the kitchen. Our server seemed to be spending time with friends or family - which I wouldn't mind but there was no excuse for this tardiness - especially since I had my 11 year old with me.

The prawns were good. The mac & cheese and beef roast were good but the rest of the meal was lacking. My son said his potatoes were not cooked properly.

The environment is lush. Servers were nice, chef was nice. Apologetic. But overall not an impressive evening and we will not...

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at this wonderful bar brasserie with my friends and I can confidently say it was worth every minute of the 30-minute trip to get here! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by the loveliest staff—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their recommendations were spot on, and everything we had was simply impeccable.

The ambiance is just as inviting as the service. The décor is both stylish and cozy, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Everything was immaculately clean, adding to the overall comfort of the experience.

Whether you’re looking for a casual drink or a full meal, this place delivers on all fronts. I’ll gladly make the journey again because spots like this are rare gems....
