“Servings smaller than entree ... quite disappointing. 4 basic drinks 7 oysters and set menu.”

“I was underwhelmed with the snacks I had and just can’t get past the blowtorch tasting charcoal toast we had with the crab - it completely ruined the dish and that’s all you could taste - disappointing.”
“Similarly the scallops with the squid ink were completely tasteless and the potato crisps on the top were chewy, texturally not pleasant.”Read the original Google review
