Reviewed on November 07, 2011

"I can’t remember the last time I ate so little in a restaurant. I’m not squeamish. I don’t mind chilli heat. I just have never been hungry enough to eat these repetitive plates of collapsing taupe mulch." READ REVIEW

"The cooking is good in parts. Although the butchery that comes before the cooking is hellish. As if they had used not a knife but a sledgehammer." READ REVIEW
