It is a beautiful building. Good spot for couples, but not really romance because the seating at tables is so close together. The service was very good. The wine recommendations were well done. My companion chose the asparagus starter and cheese plate dessert to be served together, while I hade the chicken with greens. Tasty dish as a combination, but... More

I had a quite nice dinner in this impressive place. Maybe the negative revious are a bit old as we were 15 and all enjoyed the food (big salmon slice and sea bass main course for myself), beer and wine served. As it was a business dinner, I did not pay and cannot say anything about the budget ... I... More

We opted for this restaurant an evening when walking by. We sat outside and was given our drinks pretty quick, however there was a little mix up in the numbers of drinks.

I wish I had read TripAdvisor BEFORE going into this place. Most of the reviews point in the same direction - poor. Alas though a long queue at the nearby and generally good Chinese (Nam Kee) tempted us to try this place. A mistake. After being told they would have a table for us "in just a minute" we waited...
