    I had the New York Steak this time. It's not my favorite cut of meat, but I gave it a try. It was amazing!! I would order it again the next time I visit.

    The food at this restaurant is absolutely exquisite, the place is stunning, and the service is generally very good. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation and presentation of the dishes, making every meal an enjoyable experience. However, I have two recommendations based on several visits. On one occasion, the bill was brought to our table before we even asked for it, and this happened before being offered desserts. It felt rushed and slightly out of place for such a high-quality establishment. Additionally, the complimentary birthday dessert was very disappointing. It tasted bad, seemed stale, and was far below the exceptional standard of the restaurant’s regular menu. It’s a pity because it detracts from an otherwise memorable dining experience. Despite these small issues, I would still highly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding food and beautiful ambiance. A bit more attention to these details would make it perfect.

    Great brunch experience. Very busy, so service a little longer than usual, but such great good! Basket of pastries was a highlight. Quiche was amazing, and make your own omelette is great (goat cheese tomato, spinach and sausage). The health shot was very good.
