    We we’re a table of 4 and we had 3 season menu’s and one classic menu, we had the most fabulous food, we enjoyed every single dish that came out. However we were getting very annoyed by the service. We felt as if we had to be rushed and during a meal it is very unsatisfying to have staff remove an empty glass. We felt as if the staff were waiting to do anything and eyeballing the second we put down a knife or fork. We understand that everything is time sensitive, but we had no chance of even dipping bread in the sauces, because the plates were taken away the very next second. We ate very slow so we had the chance to finish the wine paired to the dish, otherwise we would’ve eaten a 7 course meal in an hour. So as the food was excellent, the service could be little calmed down, so diners can finish their glass of wine without it being taken away the second they think its empty while eating. We do recommend this restaurant as it was so delicious, only we do recommend telling the service staff to take their time. Thank you so much for a great experience
