    If you're looking for good-value food and drink this will do fine. We were a group of 4 meeting for lunch, drinks and a chat and HF suited us perfectly. Some cheerful and efficient waiting staff made it a bit special too. The food was well presented and nice and hot, the drinks options were good too so nothing to complain about at all. If you are after fine-dining (with the prices that go with that) you will most likely be looking elsewhere.

    The two hostesses at the front were less than friendly and accommodating. I had made a dinner reservation in open table over 2 months ago and even after showing one the reservation they contributed to look for the name or reservation. One rolled her eyes when my husband said, you’ve seen the reservation, can’t you just eat us since the c restaurant is half full and they ignored us.
