A perfect place for food and drinks to catch up with friends. The food and wine were both delicious and the staff were very attentive and especially helpful when making sure someone in my party would be okay to eat as she has a shellfish allergy. Will definitely be coming back.

The staff was extremely attentive and made the dinner enjoyable throughout. The food was fresh and delicious, and the chefs explained the ingredients and flavors to us. They brought our dessert with a candle for one of our birthdays :) It was a lovely dinner, and we will visit again.

It was a weekday and we were the only people there. However, we have been there on a Saturday before and it was packed. They have to turn people away. The food was great except one starter I ordered was not available and one desert was also not available. That aside the food is excellent and very authentic Would definitely go back.
