"It's a great, quite and reserved place. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day at work or just to have perfect dinner or lunch date with someone. You immediately feel relaxed and welcomed as you walk into the gates of the place. Friendly and attentive waitresses. The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Only problem is that the places closes quite early on Saturday, opening times should be extended on weekends. Overall it's an awesome place and you won't regret spending a cent there."

"I drifted into this casual restaurant that captured the ideal Friday afternoon relaxed, chill vibe. Its the ideal 'after work' drinks place catering for the whole crowd. The atmosphere is the perfect place for Midday meetings and professional enough for client introductions. Featured areas range from a zen fountain to an English bar, even a cozy diner, lazy lounge, and a beer garden-style area; whatever mood you want to be dropped into - it's here. Great service from the waiters, they are friendly & fast. I can recommend the Expresso Smoothy - a perfect blend of Coffee in its chilled form and great value for money."
