“ Celebrated my birthday here in May and what a magical time with extraordinary food and service from the staff. The menu was expertly designed, the food was scrumptious and the service was top notch! Couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate! ”
“ I have been wanting to try this restaurant for some time, the last time I paid it a visit was when it was still inside the Crystal Towers Hotel. The decor inside is rather nice, great for birthday lunches, babyshowers etc. The service was great! Staff were friendly ,helpful and attentive. The scones and coffee we had were delicious. The menu... I do feel could do with a bit more of a variety, but that is merely my opinion. The only negatives I really have is the walk to the bathroom on the carpeted floors, whilst the bathroom itself is nice and clean, the carpets on the walkway to get there really don't smell great and the lights close to the beautiful cherry blossom ceiling display flicker and it was really bothering my eyes however if you have your back to them it seems to not bother you All in all a great experience! ”
