Renovations have now transformed the venue into opulent version and luxe atmosphere. Restaurant to right side, buzzing bar to the left then an open area towards the back containing booths, a couple of high tables and standing area between tables and chairs. They do have a great cocktail (passionfruit/white chocolate) I have always returned to, but really need to train new bartenders how to refine and maintain the standards and quality.

Restaurant itself over delivered several years ago, having said that, had no expectations on the food or atmosphere at the time so it was a nice experience and suprise to stumble on some years ago (4 course degustation). It had beckoned me to spread the word and return for semi-celebratory dinners and catch up for a tame night out.

Nowadays, following the attraction, the bar has become way too overcrowded. It's gone from bar atmosphere to 70% club. Music can get loud. Too much pushing and shoving from alcohol fuelled crowd and as a result the service has gone topsy turvy. On three occasions, even for the restaurant experience, I observe people are treated more like a guest who has to stand in line.

It has drawn in plenty of attention so great for their business and a suggestion for a night out, crowd quality know how to dress well but I will think twice before heading to such a busy venue. I liked it better when we weren't packed like sardines and preferred Morris keeping it under control and classy.
