    Service was amazing, you could tell that the staff really prided themselves on wanting you to have the best experience and that it mattered to them, they also brought an extra little desert for my wife’s birthday, and actually gave an extra portion of it when we finished it which they didn’t have to. The food was overall very good, but somewhat inconsistent, some dishes were incredible (chicken cashew, crispy aromatic duck, prawn toast and beef starters) but others disappointing (lobster essence noodles were the biggest letdown, appeared to be basic noodles boiled in a lobster broth, but I had expected something more. 80% of the pork belly was extremely tender and delicious, with an incredible sauce, but the other 20% was a little dry and overall I wished I’d gone for the sweet and sour pork instead). Overall great service and atmosphere, and a good experience, food was good, but for the price point and Michelin star, I suppose I was expecting the food to blow me away which it didn’t.

    Staff extremely helpful and attentive. Excellent food in pleasant surroundings. The evening however was spoiled by a loud table of 8 who were talking, shouting and laughing loudly.
