Dined here with my friend this evening. Really enjoyed the food and vibes. The food & drinks were delicious, particularly the Dynamite prawns and steak! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The shisha was also very good. Definitely recommend for a girls night or a date night!

The food was very good. The service was poor. Two hours waiting for the main course. Be wary if you are going to a show in the Jazz Cafe, give yourself lots of time.
