The restaurant has many areas for intimate groups, and larger spaces able to cater for dancing or live musicians. With our private garden and our Asian style dining room, we can tailor-make functions to suit every need and budget, such as special boutique weddings, cocktail parties, birthdays, engagements and vowel renewals.
