We recently visited this Aun as a group of five and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional, with beautifully prepared dishes. The ambience was also delightful, creating a warm and inviting setting for our evening. However, the service fell short of expectations. We had to repeatedly request wine and food, which disrupted the flow of our meal. For a restaurant in this price range, we anticipated more attentive service. While we loved the food and atmosphere, improved service would elevate the experience to match the premium pricing.
