We had our company Xmas meal here one year and recently went back for a friend's birthday.

There is a wine bar on the ground floor and a restaurant up on the first floor. Very modern in design. Nice place to go.

Food is pleasant enough but... I found the flavours to be very full on, not very subtle or with any finesse.

I had the tempura tuna which was a large chunk of tuna done medium, which I enjoyed, but the batter was not tempura. It was very brown and look as it was fried in quite used old. The flavour was too strong for the tuna. The noodles that came with it I really like. Chinese Ho Fun and not the usual cop-out thread noodles.
