First time we have been, wonderful experience. Lovely friendly lady at reception showed us to our table. Our waiter was incredibly attentive (not sure of name, really sweet guy from Sicily) - and the food was extremely good. We had the set lunch - all of the courses were excellent, especially the Salmon sashimi and the seaweed Kyuri salad. Portions were also quite large, we couldnt finish everything. Really satisfying great value experience with beautiful food and kind, friendly staff. We will be back.

great location, great food, nice wine list. some items were not available on the menu, but waiter/ess suggested other recommendations based on waiter/ess's own preferences, but didn't ask what we were actually looking for or what we would really like to enjoy.

It was unfortunately a very poor experience for a special occasion despite fairly low expectations I had for my Valentine's dinner celebration. I had booked the table already one month in advance, and I still had to wait for 30min to be seated. The service was unbelievably slow and one can observe that it was a bit chaotic as we almost served a dish we didn't order. The waitress felt bad enough to offer us drink on the house but unfortunately it was too late to save the night... I really wish they can turn things around as the service clearly doesn't justify the price they charge for their food which is overall good!

Outstanding placd but the service was sooooo chaotic and poor. There was some kind of problem with the kitchen planning i think. The waiters tried their best but it wasnt great.
