March 2025Can’t say I really enjoy the food here, they have a really good selection of dishes, but it’s too international, they tend to be a master of none. At least the baked cheese and bread was tasty. So was the crispy duck and wrap. Overall environment is really nice and relaxing. The staff are really nice and friendly. After dinner, we went downstairs for some drinks and listen to the live singing performance, which was really enjoyable.

March 2025Went for brunch on a Saturday morning. They didn’t seem quite ready for customers but all was good once they got going. Lovely spot overlooking the canal basin. Looked like a great set up outside with an external kitchen.

February 2025I had been wanting to visit for quite a while and when we did eventually come, I left disappointed. I was served the wrong drink 3 times. The meal itself was okay. Nothing special. Their “famous kebab skewer” really wasn’t worth the heavy price you pay for what little you get. And it was just a bit meh. Location is fantastic and the lights light up the canal really nice. It was a shame as we wanted to come and it was really nice scenic wise, to be let down by the food. Atmosphere was great too as they had a man & woman duo on at the time who we great
