I went here for dinner on a Saturday night with 3 other friends. Atmosphere was ok, service was attentive - it did become quite loud as restaurant filled up making it hard to hear others at the table.
Straight up, I completely dislike their concept of having a menu with all dishes listed, not according to entree and main. We were continually asking if a certain dish was substantial enough for a main, or is it too big for an entree etc. There are clearly much smaller dishes intended for entree but you can not pick it from the menu (or the price). The concept does not make it interesting, better etc. - appears just to enable them to charge much more for their smaller dishes.
Food was ok - it was cooked well but there was not a lot of flavour to the overall dish. Dishes are also quite small. I ordered what was meant to be chicken maryland, ended up with 2 small bits of chicken with a mountain of "bitter" leaf salad. Prawn salad - 2 prawns, some scallops, - mountain of salad. All dishes seemed to be stocked up with a version of this salad and that is it. With an "entree" and a "main", I still had to go home for a sandwich.
Overall the food was cooked well (not over or ruined) but it just lacked flavour, was very 1 dimensional and certainly not enough quantity for a meal. I would not go back.

Approximate cost: $30
