“Dissapointed.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

Have been to this restaurant several times. It was not as good as on previous visits. The food was a little bland, soggy noodles and too much salt used! Having just returned from Thailand it was a real disappointment. There is however a buzz about the place and it is always busy, so its good for a group event. More

“Nothing extraordinary... in fact, the seafood was not tasty at all.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

Dined with a friend who likes their cookbook. We chose the highest price tasting menu for our table of four. The starters were decent and we remained optimistic. The mains were passable at best. We had two seafood dishes from the menu and they were barely palatable. The hammour was the worst I have ever had! Service was slow albeit... More
