This place has a gorgeous relaxing vibe. We couldn’t book for dinner, so we did lunch instead and we’re glad we did! Love the whole ‘Land, Earth and Sea’ part of the menu. The service was amazing and they were really honest about how big or small the portion sizes were. The noodles and bao buns are fantastic, but the sweat and sour tofu was too sugary for me. Overall a great experience.

I have visited this establishment many times, and its always an amazing experience. The cocktails are suburb and were what originally drew me to the place, but it became a regular spot once i tried the food- it is heavenly! a particular favourite is the tempura aubergine with honey, its addictive!

Wonderful restaurant! Our servers Luke and Sophie were fantastic, and the food was delicious. We had the salty edamame for a starter,and it was the best we've ever had. All of our entrees were outstanding. Definitely recommend!

Great place for food, would recommend the baked crab, teriyaki beef and pork belly. Staff are chatty and friendly, would advise to pre book a table especially at dinner time as it gets booked up. Cocktails are lush but expensive! I had their own ‘solero’ cocktail over the weekend which was 10/10 ?

When we booked we told them one of the party had a fish allergy The waitress even checked when she took our order if any allergies!!!! First course came out and we checked every dish with the waiter and waitress As we know fish can be used !!! Again second course arrived We checked and told the prawn crackers had fish My brother checked the pork dish and was told it’s grilled pork ! After his first mouthful he Began to get hot and said his tongue felt like it was swelling We called the waitress over and asked what was in the sauce She calmly replied fish stock ? Then the look of horror came across her face ! They had obviously forgotten to pass the message to the front of staff team ! My brother didn’t want to course a scene so keep telling the waitress it was okay His hands eyes and tongue then started to swell Lucky we remembered there was a Tesco round the corner and get some allergy tablets The restaurant only took his meal off the bill And then said as a good will they would also take the service charge off !!!!!!

Nice place, good service. Food let the experience down, average at best, with a high price tag. I don't think I will be eating there again, as I feel there are far better options in Shrewsbury. For clarity, I am more than happy to pay for a quality meal, but for me and the family members who joined me, it fell short.

Atmosphere and service were good , but food was really bad, very salty and didn’t taste good , bread was a week old. Drinks were good.

The place and decor is lovely we were looking forward to eating here...ate upstairs which was lovely.We found the menu a bit overwhelming and didn't have a clue what to order...so we just opted for the mix of everything which was £39 a head. The food was lovely but I think for us we had an early reservation (the only one we could manage to book) and we just weren't hungry enough and were tired after a long day...we couldn't finish our desserts (which by this morning i really regret!!!) The staff are very friendly and immaculate in their service. I would definitely recommend this place and next time would choose just a couple of dishes individually.

Enjoyed the tapas style food. The majority of the dishes were sufficient to share, which is the intent of tapas. However, the Peruvian sea bass was very small. The staff were friendly and attentive. We sat outside, so can't really rate the atmosphere.

Fantastic meal Monday evening, busy and vibrant atmosphere. Service was attentive and warm. Cocktails some of the best in Shrewsbury and the food was absolutely fantastic! Delicious.Vegetarian options: Excellent variation.Dietary restrictions: Happy to accommodate if required.

Went here for dinner and cocktails - it was ok - nothing special but what winds me up is that this restaurant have also joined the bandwagon and adding a service charge to the bill - we asked for it to be removed as we prefer to leave our own tip - then you can here them complaining that we have asked for this to be done.

Food was great, staff were friendly and pretty helpful. Was a bit loud, being sat by the bar. But what let the experience down for us was having to leave the table after an hour and a half! Wasn't particularly aware that we had a time limit and being told we had 10 minutes to get out was a bit of a shock. We'd gone there to celebrate a birthday and would have been staying for more drinks. On checking my booking email later on it did state that we had the table for 2 hours, not 90 minutes.

Came here for a 30th birthday celebration last night and what can we say.. Amazing. From when you first walk through the door, the level of customer service is something you just don’t see everywhere. We had teriyaki beef, sweet and sour chicken, Katsu curry, belly pork and Bao buns. Each dish was just top tier but John the waiter. He is by far the best waiter we have ever had. His vibe, his personality, his experience and his knowledge is just unreal. What an absolute credit to this restaurant. He needs to go to the top. We’ll be here again soon!
