What Paul Matthews doesn't like about Seamstress:
First, the waiter got our order wrong (a medium instead of small). When this was pointed out and admitted to we thought the issue was resolved but when the bill arrived they still attempted to charge us for the wrong size. The food was generally lacklustre.

Seamstress is a vibrant and eclectic restaurant that offers modern Asian fusion cuisine. While some guests found the food to be lackluster and the service inconsistent, others praised the delicious dishes and great atmosphere. The menu features small tasting size dishes that are perfect for sharing, and the cocktails are not to be missed. The restaurant also has a hidden bar upstairs with a great vibe and interesting decor. With a little room for improvement in both food and service, Seamstress has potential to become a top dining destination.

Great ambience and service. Quirky, funky, dark and moody. Not too big and loud to rule out conversation. Great cocktails. Thanks for a great night.
