Had such a great night here with friends. The service was genuinely outstanding. Every staff member was friendly, welcoming and really engaged with us, and they were attentive without being over the top. Our drinks were checked on regularly throughout the night, which made a huge difference and made us feel really well looked after. The food was just as impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and from start to finish, we felt like we were properly waited on and never rushed or forgotten. An amazing experience all round.
Came in on a Thursday night, two of us for dinner. We ordered a few starters to share. The tempura oysters & gnocci were incredible, and the drinks were great. The rest of the starters were a bit lacking, the pork belly was served cold, the scallops, while cooked well, lacked a lot of flavour. The brisket was cooked well but very rich and nothing special. The garnish was also the same on each dish and felt lazy and cheap, and didn't add anything to the dish. During the meal and when paying each staff member failed to ask how our meals were, but didn't forget to ask if we wanted more drinks. We were given attention, but not really for the right reasons. For the prices they're charging you're better off visiting Host or Loulaki. Not trying to an annoying customer, just trying to give some constructive feedback.
Dear Clayton, Katrina and the incredible Bergen team, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for hosting what was, without question, the most unforgettable way to welcome in the big 4-0! You absolutely outdid yourselves – the venue was electric, the food was next-level, and the energy? Unreal. I’m so grateful not only for the way you welcomed me and my friends, but also for joining in on the fun. I couldn’t have imagined a better crew to celebrate with.
Dark, moody lighting made for a very romantic atmosphere. I came in unplanned and dining solo, but was immediately seated without any hassle. Despite the chilly weather outside, the indoor heaters kept things perfectly warm and cosy. Started with the beef brisket — absolutely incredible. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender; they gave me a steak knife but honestly, a butter knife was more than enough. The rich jus on the plate was packed with flavour. For the main, I had the lamb shoulder. Same story — fall-apart tender with beautifully soft, buttery fat. Both dishes were plated beautifully and clearly crafted with care. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, flavour, and experience made it well worth it. Highly recommend.
We didn't have a booking but we were lucky enough to be accommodated due to a cancellation. Our waitress (dark curly hair) was absolutely lovely and made our night. The oyster special was delicious, the wagyu steak was so tender and flavourful and the drinks were great. Thank you!
