I brought my 5 year old daughter here for a fun experience and it was a bit of a letdown. I don’t know what I was expecting but it was very quiet, low energy. Every staff member was extremely attentive, nice and wanted to do all that they could to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately, we just had different expectations. The space is pretty modern and dark, with quiet music. The food was ok, and the desserts were underwhelming. I wanted to find a kid friendly afternoon tea experience, and thought this would be it. Although it’s obviously very kid friendly, it’s lacking the fun and energy I was hoping for. Again, staff were wonderful. Very expensive.

We visited today for a birthday celebration, and it proved to be an exceptional experience. Muhammad's attentiveness significantly enhanced the occasion. The culinary offerings were delightful, complemented by a vibrant atmosphere. The cocktails were well-received, and the visual presentation of the smoking effect was impressive. Furthermore, the desserts appeared to be of high quality. The theme of the restaurant was great, with classical music from charlie and the chocolate factory playing in the background. Overall amazing experience! Pricing slightly high but really did have the best experience!
