We had a lovely lunch and the setting is great with great tasting food, however the following needs attention:
1. During a heatwave there was no air conditioning or fans. We were not allowed to sit outside due to a function being set up and when we asked for the window onto the deck to be opened (multiple requests) we were told they would need to find someone to do it. In over 3 hours no one came to open the window. It was incredibly hot and uncomfortable.
2. Portion sizes of the salmon bowl and the trinchado were small
3. We had to keep calling wait staff to come to our table and service was very slow

It was my friend birthday on Sunday. We had the best experience ever. The drink party box was just the cherry on top, it really made our experience top tier. What a lovey day we had with good vibes, creating beautiful memories. When we left though yho we were tooooooo drunk that party gift drink box doesn’t play lol. We’ll definitely come again soon it’s a MUST!

My friends and I had a lovely experience. Our waiter and the host were very accommodating. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the food. The pork belly taco was overcooked and very hard. The wings lacked flavour and taste. It was really a shame when it came to the food. Other than that the place is amazing

We had a good experience overall however when we arrived they couldn’t confirm our booking even though we had booked online prior to coming. They said we should call instead of booking online which resulted in us being allocated whichever table was available. That was a bit disappointing but we had a good time nonetheless.

My boyfriend and I loved the chicken wings coupled with the bottomless mimosas. The music was great and our waitress Charity gave us stellar service! Also enjoyed that we didn’t have to wait for long periods of time to get tended to as any other waiter could assist without us even asking. Great job!

Her service was amazing, she went over and above her duty! She deserves a bonus, promotion or something, she was was absolutely delightful!

The food wasn’t bad but it took really long to arrive. Also, I was asked for a date of birth. It was my boyfriends birthday (I included it) & he wasn’t even served a slice of cake. Kid of disappointing since I was asked for a DOB when I made the booking.

The service is very slow, we waited for our food platters for over an hour. Our table was not decorated, despite my request to have one of the potplants they have on other tables. Nonetheless, I loved the music, the food is delicious and the staff is friendly.

The place is amazing, waiters are very friendly. The service seems to be a bit slow with the bottomless mimosas, it takes quite a while but the waiters do try to pick up the pace. A bit more effort can be put into the taste of the food, extremely bland food.

It was really lovely, until payment time. I understand the card machine was not working but it was so inconvenient that the only other payment method was Zapper...I had to download the app and register which was a frustrating experience.
