"Totally impressed with the ambience of old house with modern design. Perfect for a romantic date. I enjoyed their food and cakes. I wasn’t able to take photos since it’s somehow a formal dinner. However, i took a snaps with their menu. Reasonable price!"
Do Min Joon
"At first I thought I was lost since the place is dim, and it was also raining. However when I entered the place it brought me back to 90s. There are only a few people who dine in. I love the place but there were only a few food choices. It's a great experience, I'd love to come back for an intimate dinner with my partner. I was actually with my friends, you have to be very demure. You can't laugh out loud since it's for more like a fancy type of meal."
Mary (MAMO)
"I had visited this same ancestral house years ago, known as Circa 1900 at the time. The place was truly incredible. The food was uniquely flavored, though the portions were quite small for the price. Nevertheless, the cocktails are an absolute must-try."
