Features: A central open kitchen with a wraparound chef counter and bar seating, plus a full-service bar. The venue provides an in-house PA system and speakers, Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and permission to play your own music. The ground floor offers step-free guest access and is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Groups seeking relaxed, social dining or lively standing receptions in a casual restaurant setting.

What sets it apart: Extensive outdoor seating across multiple terraces that expands the usable dining footprint in favourable weather.
