03 Good to know

A few honest things before you go

We keep these pages straight with you. None of it is a dealbreaker — just worth a quick check.

  1. Treat it as a relaxed dinner, not a quick stop — at busy times some guests wait, and group dishes can arrive a few minutes apart.
  2. Food is strong overall but varies by dish; ask staff what's best that evening rather than relying on older review favourites.
  3. Check the current menu, currency, tax and service charge before ordering — a service charge and tax can apply.
  4. Reservation policy is unclear from public sources, so message ahead for dinner or larger groups.
  5. If stairs matter, confirm step-free access to the terrace / upper seating before you go.
