The outdoor area for a pre-dinner drink was great - so good to be sitting in the sunshine and fresh air.
Our evening meal was really tasty and the service we received was excellent! Thanks for a great evening out.

The interior is lovely and warmly decorated. The waitresses worked hard and did a good job with the limited help- they bused, took orders, and brought out the food.
My husband had the steak, which is more lean than American cows which have higher fat content, thus different flavor. Not bad, just different. However, the steak was requested medium rare and was more medium to medium well done. The sides were fine.
The prawn order was supposed to have a spicy thai sauce on top but there really was minimal sauce. The coconut rice had a nice flavor.
The desserts were quite substantial and very rich. The chocolate tart was very rich and had a nice chili after taste.
I'd suggest smaller dessert portions and a less expensive price.

My husband and I dined here, we both chose different versions of the blue cod. Our meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was informed and attentive. We’d return when next we visit the city.
