The food is unbelievably amazing, the atmosphere is so cool ! Will be going back for sure and have recommended to many who are still raving about it

The place is situated at Woolston. It's supposed to capture the rich crowd who resides at Sumner, an affluent area. We got to give the credits where they are due.
