Both the indoor Bistro and outdoor Terrace are fantastic. The servers are friendly and courteous.
Inside Bistro:
A little fancier, the meals were superb! We started with Irish Scallops and Triple Cooked Chips both of which were fresh and flavorful. The O'Farrells Lamb Rump was so moist and tender I think I will order that next time. The Pan Roasted Cod was light and the leeks really made it stand out. The Dover Sole Meunière was hearty and perfectly balanced by the capers.
Outside at the Terrace:
Fantastic view! We really enjoyed the crab toast. We thought the toast might be too much but it was mostly air and the crab was solid crustacean delight. The wings were also good but the burgers really shined. They were juicy and full sized - beef done right!
The drinks:
The Lavender Haze was our first place but only by the slimmest of margins. You will not be disappointed by the Secret Garden (tastes like a fruity dessert), Spicy Poloma (definitely spicy and awesome), Gold Rush (honey is there but very subtle), or New York Sour (colorful and bold).

Friendly staffDesserts & cakesWaiting times
Really long wait time for food. Was waiting for almost an hour for my meal which left me having to rush it before my spa appointment which wasn’t ideal.
But The food was excellent though, would recommend giving yourself more than enough time
They also had no vegan options on the set lunch menu which wasn’t ideal
Its only ok.
The food was nice but felt it was over priced. The quality was good but the flavors were not sensational. I would expect more given the price and vibe they are trying for.
The service was very friendly but sadly incredibly inefficient and ineffective. It took almost over 30minutes to be served our first drinks. The food was a little more prompt however our last drinks never came at all even though we waited for them over an hour. We asked for a second bottle of water twice and it never arrived. It was a super hot day and I feel like the service should be more attentive to this particular fact.
We sat outside on thr terrace on one of the lovely couches which was very comfy and wonderfully appointed. Lots of cushions and blankets for when it gets chilly. The views of the city were also lovely.
Its definitely a spot for older people - over 40s, 50s etc. Not a spot for younger people, the atmosphere is a bit stale. The music was boring but I feel this is the vibe they are going for. Definitely not a fabulous place to enjoy a wine or a cocktail unless you are well into your middle age.
