About this space

The Event Space is a semi-private dining area in the restaurant Forsythia, defined by a partitioned corner that keeps the group visually separate from the main dining room.

Design: The room pairs black-and-white patterned floor tiles and exposed timber ceiling beams with pale banquette seating, rattan pendant lights and framed artwork for a contemporary, understated look.

Features: The room includes built-in Wi‑Fi, an installed PA system/speakers, air conditioning and abundant natural light. The layout combines fixed banquette seating and movable tables and chairs and the area is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets nearby.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, seated dinner or an informal, social reception in a semi-private corner of a restaurant.

What guests say: The space is quiet and romantic. The room is supported by attentive front-of-house staff.
