Had a great experience at Happy Uncles. The food was excellent, portions were surprisingly generous for fine dining, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality. Service was also attentive and friendly throughout. A few things could improve the overall experience, namely the venue could use an upgrade, especially the plastic chairs and tables, as they don’t really match the standard of the food, especially for longer sittings. Also, for a non-alcoholic establishment, the drink options are very limited. A wider and more premium beverage selection would really complement the meals. Overall, great food and service, just needs a bit of refinement in the setting and drinks offering.
