HONESTLY’S VERDICT
In a word: Cool, chic, classy.
Food: Mouthwatering.
Service: Fast and attentive.

Ambience: Sumptuous surroundings, just a shame that people are allowed to smoke in dining areas.

Value for money: Great value lunch menus for some really great Japanese staples, don’t get me wrong, it’s not cheap, but worth every penny.
Worth a visit?:  Absolutely, any time of the day, you won’t be disappointed by the food, interiors or service.
