“ Amazing experience - if we could give 20 out of 10 we would! Best afternoon tea we've had in at least 10 years. A real diamond cannot recommend enough. Sandwiches were amazingly flavourful and the scones came with homemade lemon curd, strawberry jam and cream, absolutely divine. More food than we could eat so we're going home with a doggy bag! Super friendly and accommodating staff, very clean and beautiful interior. We'll be coming back on another day to try their normal menu which looks amazing too. ”
“ Cassie our server was excellent! She made our meal more enjoyable with her wonderful personality and great service. We tried the sushi dishes including the salmon sushi dog and everything was delicious! We had a large party. They made a special effort to accommodate us and make sure everyone had a lovely experience. Will definitely be back. ”

“ Service was great, very nice/helpful staff. The food was very good, we had a Groupon for the afternoon tea and it's one of the best we've been to, I especially liked the salmon tataki sandwiches and the cheesecake, definitely recommend. Came back again for dinner and we had small plates, all of them were great. Especially liked the mushroom arancini and the crispy salmon tacos. The chicken bao bun was amazing too, would suggest if the bao could make 2 smaller ones instead of one large then easier to share. ”

“ Super friendly staff, very knowledgeable! Delicious food. Starters was a Japanese fusion/ tapas style to share... Five spice cauliflower was delicious as was the miso aubergine, sashimi salad was beautifully presented. Plentiful tomahawk steak cooked just right. Desert was surprisingly good too, and tasted homemade not too sweet. Would definitely be back again. Located along the high street. Easy to find. Parked at the multistory car park, free parking after 6.30pm. ”
