Hidden away unobtrusively behind an innocuous ramshackle looking Antique Shop accessible only through a secret speak easy side door off Mavin Street
It’s a small affair, dimly lit, cosy, moody with quirky touches.
A warren of elegant bars, mezzanine floors, hidden passages and doorways, an ode to the chic subterranean prohibition style speak easy when booze was banned yet free flowing!
With attentive table service, precision made drinks and friendly people making them.

We went up the rabbit hole rather than down! It was like the TARDIS inside, very busy...Good sign. Selection of cocktails and wine. Food was delicious and service was friendly. Only bad point was a lime and soda was £2.40 for half a pint....made driving expensive! Would happily go here again.
I love Asian food and have eaten it in many different parts of the world. And let's face it, the UK is not known for having well seasoned food so my expectations were pretty low when it came to any chinese restaurant here. Well, I was proven wrong. The sweet and sour duck soup was one of the best I've ever had! And the Kung Pow chicken was not what I'm used to but it was also delicious! Not to mention the atmosphere was like a 1920s lounge. I would recommend this place, for sure!
This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise. The food is a mixture of asian dishes, but cooked very well. One of the biggest culinary surprises were the green beans, I recommend them. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Probably best to book it in advance as they are quite busy.
Date night Friday 1st September. Fabulous meal with excellent service. Delicious wine, gorgeous food and wonderful ambience. Would strongly recommend. Only one minor issue was the starter, honey walnut shrimp, although outstanding it was served in a small bowl which was awkward to eat , would have been better served on a small plate. Otherwise first class evening.😋
I was really impressed by the atmosphere of this small restaurant in Durham, imaginatively designed, music to reflect the ambiance and a quirky way of presenting the menu! Main course was splendid, flavours of all three meals was impressive and the drinks that we all received were good. I was rather disappointed by the desert, both in range of choice and by the quality of what we received. This is the reason for the lack of five stars. Rather more pricey menu than I would normally expect but well worth another visit, I would stick to the main courses though!
