We had such a great time at the restaurant – all our guests had fun and the hospitality was amazing. Oksana, who I was liaising with for the event, was really helpful and thorough, giving me all the details and checking in months in advance to make sure everything ran smoothly. On the day, the staff looking after us were honestly so lovely – very accommodating and attentive. I’d definitely recommend this venue for private events.

Bridal Shower · 15 guests · October 2025 · Private Dining/Meeting Room

The starter and main course were nice however the dessert were kind of misleading. Aesthetically the room was nice for a small intimate private dinner i

Most staff were very unfriendly. Particularly the guy with the long blonde hair . We got charged extra for drinks and food that weren't ordered on the menu. The toilet is unisex and it's an open toilet so just be aware of that food came out late and we were kind of rushed to leave Staff made some rude comments towards us And throughout the booking process. It was a very strenuous experience overall I don't think I would recommend the place to other people just based on my experience. When asked for a knife to cut the cake for people to take away the waiter bluntly answered no and said we can't cut the cake even though , I just wanted to cut the cake and give my guest to take away. It's not like we were going to eat it there. Overall experience was a five out of 10 and honestly was a bit of a downer considering it was my birthday meal.

  • Anna S. rated it 4.8/5 stars
    'Hosting here was absolutely amazing. The staff were nice and accommodating, and their communication before and during the event was great. I loved that they easily answered any questions I had, which made the experience much more smooth. I also loved having the freedom of being able to decorate the room etc. The room itself was completely out of sight from the rest of the restaurant, which was lovely as we had our own space and, peace and quiet. The food was also impeccable, couldn’t fault it in the slightest. Overall, this place was such a hidden gem, and I’d recommend it to absolutely anyone that asked.'
  • Jasmine C. rated it 4.9/5 stars
    'I opted for a set menu with 3 courses, these dishes were fantastic and presentation of the meals were beautiful. The staff were very helpful and professional.'
