    The food and service were great, but a little noisy, which made it hard to talk. We had two teenagers with us, and it wasn't for them. Advice: ditch the kids and have a great night out here!

    Had a Group booking, so we had the deluxe banquet. The quality, taste and quantity of food was praised by my team and they catered well for the vegetarian in our group with personally presented plates of his own. Drink requests were pleasantly responded to quickly and the wine recommendation was well suited and right on budget to be enjoyed. Overall this is a terrific venue and several of the team have recommended ot their friends and family already.

    Sit out the back in the balcony area. Shaded from the sun and always a good breeze.
