Delicious and innovative food..great chef. Great ambience. Restaurant let down by very poor service..4 staff stood around bar talking and ignoring the patrons and their needs. Had to ask for service.There was no impression of anyone being in charge. Professionally trained people would make this a great experience. Would love to return to try more of the menu but service experience will deter us.

A Christmas dinner with a couple of my Cycling Buddies to feast on the little Pig. All the other food like Calamari, chips were delicious and the main meal little Porky Pig was awesome. Service was great, good drinks with great food works a treat.

Tasty food, but way too expensive for what you get. For example, 48$ for a steak, every bite had gristle through it, nothing, not even some lettuce served with it, coleslaw as a side for 16$?! entree seviche and fish of the day had the same corn and palm hearts pieces recycled through them, really disappointingto get the same thing twice. Of course, if we'd had the chance to talk to a waiter/waitress they might have told us.. but they've implemented this QR code ordering system so there's minimum interaction with any staff (they just drop by to fill your water and leave food on your table); I found

I heard the staff here are very rude, and were very indecent to some girl friends of mine.. so much so she has been left intimidated and humiliated. These people don’t deserve your money. Spend it elsewhere
