F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- Can i book more than 4 pax?
- - Yes. However it is subject to table availability as the bar is not very big. You can indicate in the reservation form the number of pax, and we will arrange the tables to cater to your group. Please note for bookings above 4, there will be a minimum spend of $50 per person/standard reservation time. Thank you for your understanding!
- Can I book for other timings instead of the 3 timings available time slots?
- Yes. Please note that we will still require the table back before the next seating time slot. Just indicate in the request what time you would like to come and we will take note on our end. For example: First slot for booking is at 6pm, but you can only make it at 7pm. That’s ok, as long as we have the table back before 9pm. We will try to be flexible and try to cater to your needs and timing. These seating time slots just helps us better manage the customers and turn the tables

Very friendly and attentive service. Great drinks, but I knew that already from previous visits. What genuinely surprised me was the food. Incredibly tasty. Portions are not huge, which I see as a plus. Prices are justified (read: not cheap, but also not over-priced).

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, fab drinks. My only thing is the mac and cheese is a little dry and tastes metallic. Whether that’s the choice of cheese or the pan in which it’s cooked I’m not sure.

Love the creativity and touch of reservation written on the table! Good food and cocktails - if you're looking for a good dinner with drinks, this is the place to be. Good music choice, though I'll personally prefer if the music is tune down slightly to make chatting a wee easier. But overall, I'll definitely come back again!

Hi, the experience was very good. However, wish we were not bound by time limit to dine at the restaurant. The service was also abit slow because the shop was full house and we had to repeat the orders acouple of times. Otherwise service was excellent, and the food n drinks were good. Will visit again. Thank you!

The music gets too loud into the evening, impossible to talk. Also difficult to have a second drink, by the time it is prepared it’s already the end of the table booking.
