Everything is perfect except my table is next to the corridor. I already make a reservation in advance but unfortunately, it can’t help. Maybe I need to book much more early.

A refreshingly different menu using seasonal ingredients. We enjoyed everything we ordered which was more filling than we had expected. (Had to take some home in a doggy bag). Quite expensive for what we had but I am slowly getting used to having to pay more, quite a lot more, in good restaurants these days. Service was excellent and ambience was great.
