Tried to put us inside despite tables being available outside. We were told that they(?) had booked…. Clearly so had we but maybe Open Table doesn’t count!!! Took us 10 mins to sort that out, after which service was good. Everything overpriced but good quality.

This place was a little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the walk from intimate space to its delicious food. Everything was perfect. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super funny and had great suggestions. Definitely coming back.

We had our Christmas party at Balcon - there was 11 of us in total. The food was perfect. Drinks matched wonderfully. Good value, and a perfect place for a large group. We booked last minute and I was thrilled to get a booking at a top notch restaurant! Thank you
