The bar staff attended the night was very efficient and helpful with pleasant personality. The Platinum Buffet we ordered was very good. The guests enjoyed the party very much.

Only one minus point was that the floor was a bit sticky.

We celebrated my son's 21st party in the upstairs room. Facilites and staff excellent. I would very much recommend. Great evening and lots of positive comments from the guests.

Nothing!

We celebrated my son's 1st birthday yesterday. The staff were hospitable and accommodating. The orders were served as discussed with them via emails. We were able to decorate the venue to suit a kid's birthday party and had party games. To the staff, thank you for your professionalism, especially to the gentleman who was serving in bar in the function room.
