Beautiful venue and great atmosphere with live dj. Unfortunately food wasn't at same standard. Pizzas were good bit pasta dishes not so good. One of our party had no sausage in her pasta dish as she asked if the spice level could be reduced. Very apologetic and she didn't pay for her meal. So much potential if can get the food rite 🙏

Terrible food and terrible service. Tourist trap! Nothing was good, the food was bad, service was worse. Loud and not intimate at all. Boring food. Don’t waste your time with so many good places to choose from.

Overall experience very good. Food tasty, a little pricey. Drinks very expensive, unfortunately most of the beer taps were not working on my visit. Background music extremely loud, but was turned down later. It was my first visit but will give it another chance again.

Food was off a good standard and waiters very attentive. What let the restaurant down was the consistent heavy dance music being played, looked like a resident DJ but I might be wrong. Therefore the ambiance was not very relaxing.

Great live music but service was a little rushed and the staff seemed stressed. Food was nice but quite small portions and the wine list is quite expensive for what it is. Wouldn’t rush back!
