"Stopped over at this prestigious yet homely restaurant for a quick work meeting. Contrary to an interview about racist vibes at the restaurant, which had me very worried, I saw a cosmopolitan mix of clientele having a great time. Their chips is OUT of this world, the service was fantastic, and the free wifi super quick. I just cannot fault the team on ANY facet of my experience and WOULD recommend this as a stopover if you’re on the long road."
