Not sure where to start, if I’m honest. Came here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary after reading the decent reviews on Google. For the life of me cannot work out what they’re all talking about. Walked in and were met on the ground floor by a blonde lady who was either just scarily miserable or just simply hated her job. Not a great start. Eventually she ushered us into the lift and we went up and were met by a slightly more welcoming set of hostesses at the front desk. Walked through to our table, which felt like it was literally on top of the two tables either side of us, with absolutely zero view of anything but other people and was situated right by the rather busy bar. Not asking for much but for an anniversary celebration you’d have hoped they’d have tried to give us a decent seat (we go to Sushi Samba just down the road regularly and they do happen to do this for you, FYI), but anyway, life goes on. Met by a actually very polite and personable waitress who talked us through the menu. I mean, I don’t know if we’re just spoilt by our local taco and sushi places near us, but it was all pretty bang average at best and frankly tasteless compared to what we’re used to. £38 for two (yes, two) small lobster taco’s is actually criminal and the other ones range from £17 to £20 odd and were just as bland. To caveat, we have no issue spending money on food at all, just make it taste good at the very, very least. Just think the entire place is a complete rip off. It was just overpriced, average food. It had an overcrowded atmosphere, if there was music, I couldn’t hear it. To be honest, the highlight food wise was the free desert they gave us (fair play, thanks) which was some sort of matcha brownie, which was actually really, really good. Overall a massively underwhelming and disappointing evening. The highlight in terms of atmosphere was mainly the two painfully moronic girls sat next to us, talking loudly about how much they loved themselves and one another and how they’re love life’s weren’t going too well (not shocked, I’ll be honest) this all being in between them taking approximately 200 photos of the food and one another and making various TikTok videos. Maybe I’m just out of the loop these days and this is the desired clientele of these sort of places. We then went for a, you guessed it, extremely overpriced cocktail at their bar area after which hilariously 90% consisted of one large square ice cube. Honestly, do yourselves a favour and just literally go anywhere else. There’s so many better places in the local area and we spent over £300 on the meal, which is absolutely bonkers for what you get.
