Foods were absolutely delicious and seasoning was refined and delicate. The wine was great as well. The staff's service and the atmosphere of the restaurant were both excellent. Highly recommended.
Great food, very tasty, better than the cocktail. However, it is too loud to chat, people have to shout the whole time.
Superb meal, wine and service. Highly recommend. Thoroughly enjoyed the salmon caviar and the hangar steak was to die for.
Very nice atmosphere and super friendly service. Food was moderate. Limited menu list for foodies and lack of variety.
