Booked The Zen Den Private Room at The Last Talisman
Wow, I was blown away by the service, amenities, food, and atmosphere. The sales manager (Dovile) was incredibly accommodating and helpful ahead of our booking and the staff on the day could not have been more friendly and helpful. All the guests loved the venue and a few are considering booking it for their birthday celebrations! 10/10 would book again and come back in a heartbeat.
