“Firstly, the ambience- There may be other areas within but we sat in the main area. It is quite understated. Not too garish. I quite liked it. Second, the Service- It was quite courteous and efficient. Granted that there was not too much crowd. But still it was quite decent. Third, the food - There are a great deal of vegetarian options. We had the skewer, tge salad and some dips. They were all great. Very tasty. The wine they recommended to our preference of full bodied- St.George was very good and paired well. Great experience overall.”
