I had been dying to try Kickys for absolutely ages and was absolutely delighted to be able to find out for myself how appropriately hyped this restaurant is. The food is immaculate, very friendly service and the drinks are very unique and tasty. We came here for our anniversary and we got a complimentary glass of Prosecco which was a very nice touch. As hard as it to get a booking (understandably) i absolutely cannot wait to go back!
