Best meal I’ve had in a while - worth every cent. Easily the top bread course I’ve ever had, and every dish after that was creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. The sea bass chowder in particular was divine. Fantastic service and beautiful views.

Next time I probably won’t do the wine pairing again. Every wine they served was excellent, and there was more than enough of it, but the food was the standout to me - since the pairing is almost the same price as the food itself, it’s not something I think I’d do again.

My visit was a couple years back, but I still remember having one of the most amazing meals. The attention to detail is amazing, food isn’t just pretty, it’s really really good. They did a great job with the wine pairings too. The cocktails were also great. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant is beautiful. We also tried their sister restaurant next door and I would recommend visiting both.

A magnificent fine and rare wine pairing with especially the white wines standing out. Attentive and friendly service, although it can get quite busy on a fully booked night. Getting an Uber in the evening/night can be tricky. Fully veggie menu available, cared for all our dislikes alike.
