    Fantastic staff and fab cocktails, you gotta try the custom flavoured ice-cream!!! Lime leaf and ginger I believe it was.

    Excellent service, delicious food, and a great happy hour offer from 4-7pm. Enjoy a pianist while admiring the B&W decor.

    Great place, but make sure you check the bill. They tend to charge you for more than you've had...
