We have made an incredibly difficult decision, to close the restaurant tonight ! As much as we hate to disappoint the guests that have booked we cannot in good conscience risk the safety of our staff, and they are scared !
The violence that surrounds the taxi strike happening today is a real, terrifying and awful thing that affects the vast majority of our city’s residents making a simple thing like going to work properly dangerous.

Please email us [email protected] if we haven’t managed to get hold of you and you would like to rebook for a alternate evening
