Had a lovely dinner out with 6 friends. Food was amazing, staff were attentive but not pushy. Cocktails were really nice. We sat in the lounge area after dinner and it was nice and chilled.

The Thai Curry was delicious I ate everything on my plate. Rice was too small a portion though. I was disappointed that the restaurant did not have Prawn with was on the menu, instead I had to settle for squid in my sauce. Also the menu is too small for such establishment. I thought they would have a wide range of different foods available. Overall it was ok. My server Renee if that her name was outstanding. I will go again this time to experience the Lounge.

Great food, great atmosphere, great and attentive servers. However, in the spirit of attentiveness, the jacketed servers seemed like she was ticking a box. We had hardly started eating and she was already asking us how our food was? So maybe a little bit more time betwee bringing food to the table and asking how the meal is.
