What People Say

Guests rave about the superb food quality, especially the signature roast chicken and seasonal starters. Many mention the stylish yet unpretentious vibe, and consistently praise the attentive staff. The fixed price lunch and pre-theatre options are particularly popular, offering excellent value for the quality of the experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the space can feel a bit quiet during off-peak hours—great for conversation but perhaps not ideal if you’re looking for a lively pre-show buzz. A few mentioned that the à la carte pricing can climb quickly, so checking set menus is a smart move if you're watching your budget.
