I just wanted something small to eat but could not find something savoury like a cheese muffin/scone or some sweet potato wedges. Otherwise great!

The food was amazing. The staff are welcoming and well dressed. My friend asked for hard eggs . They were perfect . They forgot our wine but quickly corrected. Coffee was strong and hot. So much better than Enriks

Even though I requested for a quiet side table we were allocated a table near the middle. It was rather noisy. We were disappointed that the Vietnamese Slaw salad consisted mostly of bean sprouts with very little of other ingredients. The service was friendly but inconsistent as the supervisor had to retake orders taken by the trainee even for drinks. There is definitely room for improvement.

Everything was excellent, food, atmosphere, etc, but what stood out, head and shoulders above most in my experience, was the staff who were attentive, efficient and incredibly friendly. They took a wonderful dining experience with friends to the next level. Bravo to them!
