    Booked a table for drinks last Friday and loved the vibe here- was like being abroad on holiday! The decor, atmosphere and views were fantastic. The only thing that let it down was that it wasn’t table service which I would have expected for a swanky place (like crocketts), and it meant very long waits at the bar to be served. We were disappointed that it closed at 10pm and when we asked the bar tender why he was quite abrupt and said he wants to go home which killed the vibe a bit! They need more staff to cope with the volume of people, especially as cocktails take so long to make, and ensure staff are professional and friendly. Would also like to see a scale or something on the menu that says whether the cocktails are sweet or dry as they are expensive (standard but you want to enjoy the drink for that price) and I had the French 75 which I thought with lemon and champagne would be dry, but tasted like a very sweet sherbet lemon which I didn’t enjoy.
