Unfortunately a very poor experience during our visit there: we visited the Tavern for dinner and we were the only guests. Nevertheless it took the restaurant 2 hours to serve our food (we only ordered 2 different dishes The staff did not care at all and also after asking twice about the food. there was no issue made to get us served. This was really disappointing! A shame, because the food is actually pretty tasty but the experience of not getting served and not being offered any compensation is a disgrace!

Nice spot! Awesome aesthetic and the staff were nice enough to put the game on for us! Burger was great. And their Tusker special is great if there’s some footy on!⚽️

The ambience is giving Italian vibes - 11/10. The pizza was the best I've literally ever had and was enough. The cocktails we had were also great. The lady that served us was really really nice. Overall, I really loved the place.

We went to the Tavern for the bar and it surely impressed us. We then tried the restaurant and the food didn't disappoint either. Great ambience, good environment and general awesome place.

Moorish design, very beautiful. Quiet spot with lovely ambience. Lovely setting at the rooftop especially on a sunny day. Delicious food and drinks. The salads are quite good but very little portions.
