The indoors feature cosy grey sofas, elegant bottle-green chairs, and a stunning wooden brown bar, all complemented by an abundance of light streaming through the large glass walls, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the day.

In the evening, the warm lights, along with gentle murmur of background music adds to the comfortable space, perfect for conversation and enjoying a meal.
