Amazing place. The Sommelier is very knowledgeable, and the salmon is good. The people serving are friendly, but unfortunately, the Enomatic wine dispenser isn’t operating. I was there to actually have a look at the wine dispenser. Despite that, it is still an amazing place to chill.

Service was pretty good and food was delicious. Probably the only downside was the limited menu options for main courses. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was good and the food was worth the price!

Got to try a special flight of wines menu (which was a gift from a friend). Didn't expect much but walked away impressed with the variety offered, and even more surprising was that the food fared very well too. The combination was such a pleasant experience that we returned very soon after . Alas the chef was on leave and the food wasn't quite the same.

There were smoking tables outside - however the doors weren’t closed. Hence my friends and I smelt like smoke when we left the place. Would be good if the door could be kept closed

The place is quite nice and the food is good. However, because the place was quite crowded, we had to wait about one and a half hours for our food to be served. Even the complimentary bread took more than half an hour to arrive. So be prepared to wait if you're there when it's crowded.

Good food and wine, with excellent service. Staff knows their wines! Recommend the flight of 5 wines to taste a range of their bottles. Come earlier around 6 or 7 to avoid the noise crowds on weekends

Good food but took a long time to arrive given it was Friday evening "peak hour". Quantity should be increased a little. Good wines by the glass but on expensive side

I had an enjoyable evening here. I was served excellent wines for my flight of 5, with each wine very different from each other, with its own distinct character. I also ordered pork parcels, which coincidentally (or not), came between my first 2 wines (a prosecco and a Pouilly-Fume) and paired very well with both wines. Service was excellent and staff were knowledgeable about their wines too. Definitely a great place for even beginners to learn more about the wines out there.
