Very understaffed as they only had two waitresses looking after a full restaurant. The butter chicken was nice but nothing else was special. The service was polite but cold and detached. But this didn't bother me until they got an order wrong and it was clearly their fault. My partner ordered a mango flavoured dessert and I had ordered a pistachio one. The waitress did not have a notepad or anything in her hand to write down our order and when the desserts came out...we got Two pistachios!

I quickly called the waitress over to tell her of the mistake and expected she would swap the desserts quickly. Lo and behold, she flat out said No! and that we had to pay for it when it was obviously not what we had ordered. Mind you we haven't even touched the food yet! I was incredulous and will definitely not return.

Had a voucher so the meal was affordable but if we had to pay full price, then pricey would be an understatement. However, you do get what you pay for and the service was faultless. Food was beautifully presented but portions were quite small. However, for the degustation, the portions were passable. Highly recommended.

Very polite waiters which made the experience very enjoyable and stress-free. The food portions were a tad small but tasted great. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. All in all, a very satisfied customer :)

Excellent service. The waiters/waitress had impeccable manners and I would not hesitate to come back based purely on this aspect. The food was also delicious and very unique in terms of texture and flavour. My partner and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended. Oh and we came with a Scoopon voucher and they treated us like any other full-paying patron. Loved it!

The food was great and tasty...and that's about it. The woman who is probably the owner or manager is the rudest person I have ever come across in any restaurant. I don't think she understands the meaning of manners nor social etiquette. She would dismiss me with a flick of her wrist when I raised a hand to order, glared at me when I smiled at her and when we left, I said a friendly "Thank You" which resulted in a disgusted grunt from her.

Oh and she would loudly dump our plates in front of me and my partner when the food came out. It's such a shame because I had wanted to celebrate my upcoming birthday there and she just lost a potential 30+ customers. Maybe because I was the only other Asian patron while everyone else was Caucasian so she thought I was a lesser being than everyone else.

My goodness, I would not recommend this place to anyone. I wouldn't even subject my dog to the behaviour from this woman. Totally ruined our evening.

Came here on a Saturday night and after reading the reviews on here, was expecting it to be packed. Alas, we were the only couple there! It was so awkward and quiet despite some Elvis tunes in the background. The food was bland and tasteless so I guess what you pay is what you get. The waitresses were friendly and pleasant though.

The staff are very cold and detached. And the value of the meals could be compared to highway robbery. A tiny piece of bread for some starters was $3 each. My goodness...and the servings were of course, small, with bits of fluff like a stem of coriander and a few swirls of sauces here and there and ta-da...you pay close to an arm and a leg for a main. Wouldn't bother going out of my way to have dinner here. You'll be sorely disappointed.

Disappointed with the overall quality of food. There was very little flavour and texture. Thank goodness we had a voucher yet I still feel ripped off. Also, one window had a huge crack that looks like it was about to shatter on top of the couple dining next to it. Wouldn't recommend at all.
