There was a male server who aggressively provided false information to us about the yum cha there, so we barely ordered food for the first hour until one of the lovely trolley ladies made the effort to bring us food.

Wide variety of succulent dishes, first class customer service, the restaurant always gave us the table with the best view available on all our visits, the waiting staff were always polite and courteous, never rushing us and often with a smile rather than many other restaurants where the waiters often carried a sour face, restaurant management are always welcoming and make you feel it, thoroughly recommended.

We were seated outside but it meant the service of Yum Cha was not being brought outside to us until we spoke to one of the waiters. Would say atmosphere and service inside would be better.
