“Gem just discovered. Very pleasant setting in the newly refurbished Museum complex. Lovely deck with an old train carriage as a centerpiece. Fully loaded menu with very tasty well prepped meals and drinks. A bit pricy but worth the expense with generous portions and delicious preparations. Highly recommended.”
“We had fun on my sister's birthday, singing and dancing. Staff was very friendly and the food was great”
“We were assisted by Same and what a lovely, warm, professional person she is. Look for her every time you come. Thanks Same :) Keep up the great job!”
