Had dinner here last night. Overall good value. The food was a mix of courses with some courses being an amazing explosion of flavors and others falling flat. The service was ok, but for high end I expect that they will refill my water frequently and clean the table crumbs after each course. The presentation of food was top notch art work, but the wine pairing missed the mark. Overall I can recommend it, but I also see room for improvement to earn that Michelin star.

We enjoyed a beautifully thought out tasting menu, with each element quite perfectly prepared - the sear on the octopus, the char on the fish, the smoothest ravioli filling, I can go on. The brioche for dessert was a dream. The service was warm and attentive, making it a special evening worth repeating. Well done to all the team.

Great experience! Professional top notch service and attention to details. We tried the fish of the day and the lamb and also the brown butter apple for dessert. The experience starts with the small appetizers and their take on bread and butter, with croissants and salted butter. The place looks great and the atmosphere is romantic and cozy. Thanks for a great time!
