They say sharing is caring in  many cases yes it is. With 6 at a table and not in a romantic entanglement 😑 if is a little complicated and cumbersome. The idea is nice just breaking dishes that are tough to share like fish filets in a sauce are tough to share..... Good looking dishes arrive see the pictures. And look like a massacre on your plate when shared. Shame about the hard work in the kitchen. Would be great when the staff does the sharing plating and a more information about the ingredients, origin, thoughts behind the dish etc. Would be welcome.

When dining with your partner this can be nice. In corona times not ideal... To say the least 😔.

The flavor and textures of different dishes was tasty and good. Two star Michelin? Not to sure about that.  Staff was friendly Glasware was nice (Zalto). We had to use the same glasses for the different wines most of the evening 😑

The dining room is lovely. With a beautiful fireplace lit in winter. Yes you do smell the wood sometimes. Nice setting.

Service was attentive and friendly however little things need tuning like you would expect in a 2 and 3 star setting.

Really liked the petit fours and candy shop setting. Some good skill was shown there. Fabulous.

Setting 4/5
Foodconcept 2/5
Taste and texture 4/5
Presentation 4/5 before it arrives on your plate 😭
Service 3/5
Winelist 3/5
Glassware 4/5
Candyshop petit fours 5/5
Overall 3/5

We were debating whether to eat at this restaurant and are SO glad we went for it. My goodness, the menu was out of this world. The restaurant itself is small and very intimate. A special thanks to our hostess, the very talented, Emily. I don’t know how she did it but she was there right at the moment we needed her. She was amazing at recommending wines to pair with foods, explained the food choices perfectly and even took us to the most gorgeous little Candy Bar at the end. It really was an experience and a half and we will remember it forever. Thank you.

Amazing food and excellent service! The combination of flavors as well as the very detailed presentation is 100% fulfilled! The menu price is very reasonable for the quality and service you get. I would highly recommend it.
Maybe a small criticism: I specifically said that the dinner (which had to be replaced by a lunch the day after because of the new Covid-19 regulations) would be part of the celebration for my birthday but there was no attention in this regard.
