Reviews Summary

Diners consistently praise the artistic and delicious food, as well as the professional and multilingual service. However, some find the restaurant can become extremely loud on busy weekends, making conversation difficult. Despite this, the stylish decor and well-curated wine list contribute to a very special dining experience.

"Amazing Food - Excellent service - very loud

At the weekend they only offered menus which was fine by us. The food was very delicious and artistic, every dish was on point.
The service lady was very attentive and funny.

But it was super loud in the dining room with all tables full, an open kitchen door and music, it was almost impossible to have a normal conversation. That was the only negative point for us.

We will definitely come back :)"

"We came on a weekend so no tasting menu were available. (It would have been nice though)
Service was very good! At one point the waiter asked what languages I spoke (other than English) and I said mandarin, she offered the menu in mandarin, so menu comes in multiple languages here ^^
We went with 3 course menu each of us and got different things to share of course.
Scallops 👍🏻
The Iberico steak was definitely the highlight for me! 😋
The wine was also very nice! Everything was good!
I've had better Tarte tatin in France of course but hey! It was still good! And I know where I am so everything met the expectation 😎
Definitely recommend ~ it was good time spent!"
