What Customers Say
Great service for a celebration dinner from Husnu. As always, the food was excellent. The T-bone sharing plate and crab ravioli were particular highlights. Lovely atmosphere - always enjoy being on the terrace area.
Fantastic. Everything was actually really good and I recommend it to everyone. We went for my sons 17th birthday, they really made a effort and brought something out free of charge! So thank you, we will be returning.
Me and my friends had a great time. James was very friendly and attentive, and made great cocktails. Great night!
