We had a good time and food is good , service can be better. cocktails are so and so. However overall it’s a good place for a laid back dinner, they close early at 10pm

The food at the restaurant was great, simple cuisine - pizza, salads and a bit of Thai food. Our server Daisy was brilliant, and so were all the other waiting staff who came to check up on us. However, the lady at the cashier taking orders named Luna was terrible. She got our order wrong, she was talking to other people while taking our order like she could not be bothered. She was not very welcoming at all. She needs to be retrained. I also saw her yelling at the other staff and other customers. They need to get rid of her, she gives the restaurant a bad vibe. Kudos to the other staff who are super welcoming and helpful.
