Fantastic welcome to be had in the restaurant very pleasant and welcoming. Very good seating not cramped good spacious restaurant. Choice of food was very good and remember if it’s not on the menu ask and they may be able to accommodate your request as everything is cooked fresh. Chopsticks and mandatory bowl are available as I always eat this particular kind of food this way personally I think it enhances the flavour. Will definitely be back.

Went there to try the dinner and did not use the hotel. Service was wonderful and the staff were lovely. No complaints about the food but apart from the SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN, we personally felt it lacked the typical Cantonese flavours we had before, though it was very delicious in it's own right nonetheless. Would probably not return regularly for the food, but perhaps for the nice environment.

Went for a meal with my family, the food was absolutely delicious, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. Couldn't recommend more!||Everybody had a different meal, and we all thoroughly enjoyed what we chose. Our only problem was that there were too many amazing options to choose from!

I haven't stayed at the hotel but the food and service in the restaurant are exemplary. The ingredients are really fresh and great quality and are cooked to perfection. The staff are friendly, and as attentive as you would expect on a high end establishment. You need to book, by the way
