Food was ok, received a sour tasting cocktail which the waitress remade and it was so much better. Service was good!

Very aware of Coeliac. As soon as I asked about the gluten free items the server asked if I was Coeliac and said she would note to the chef so he would be extra careful. Amazing food, drinks and location. Highly recommend.
