Overall great experience, we were 7ppl the table was marginally too small because we could barely fit the food - but the food itself was excellent. However we ordered a bottle of wine and the waitress poured too much in each glass so it was only enough for 6ppl and then asked if we wanted a second bottle- not great and v unprofessional. This place has great potential but need to up the staff game. I won’t be coming back with a big group again but maybe for lunch with my husband

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food, drinks, and overall vibes were fantastic. The staff were incredibly polite and accommodating with my food intolerances, which made the meal even more enjoyable. After dinner, we visited the bar upstairs, where there was live music and excellent drinks—such a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I booked the Winter Terrace for the cheese fondue. The service was pretty slow and took a while to get drinks and even longer for the Fondue. We were a group of 7 and the fondue has to be ordered for 2 people. They would not accommodate for fondue for 1 person. The server who was lighting the fondue did not know how to handle the flame torch and was waving it very close to my head with the flame torch still lit. When the fondue came it was not a lot of food for the price and came with random vegetables like beetroot, radish and celery. The terrace also does not look like the pictures. Overall really disappointing experience.

Spent a whole day here… starting with family film club in the very comfy basement cinema followed by a chilled afternoon while the kids were kept entertained by the brilliant leaders at “The Kids Table”. Highly recommend lounging in the wraparound hotel lobby sipping on cocktails and watching the world go by…

Nice place but tricky to find - actually part of a hotel. Nice food - we had the lunch combo. Delicious French onion soup and avocado toast with a poached egg and a Virgin Mary. Very quiet which was fine.

Nice atmosphere. Service quite bizarre. Initially overly attentive and then non existent and the waitress didn’t really seem to have a clue what was going on! Food was only ok but the bread was amazing. Attractive building and a nice restaurant layout.
