Te veal was not good. Expensive given the size of the dishes.

The food was uniformly delicious and interesting, and the 4-course prix-fixe dinner was very generous. We really enjoyed our experience!

World-class dining experience— not for those who are in a hurry, of course. We enjoyed the 5-course prix fixe, spread luxuriously across a 2-hour span. The additional “touch of gold” is that you can order distinct wines by the glass to go with every course at will. A wonderful evening.

We had the five-course tasting menu with wine pairing. We were surprised to find the restaurant empty. However, we were warmly welcomed. The pre-dinner appetizers were delicious, and all the courses were surprisingly tasty—except for the finale. Unfortunately, we found the cheese and dessert to be ordinary, uninventive, and not on the same level as the rest of the meal. A pity, because we loved the restaurant.

Very nice atmosphere and very attentive staff, comfortable seating and well decorated. The food was a bit flat and the ingredients were not mixed in a way that would surprise your senses, the dishes were only “ good” not up to the standard you would expect with such a nice presentation. But the worst of all, and the main reason why I give this punctuation, the dinner lasted for more than 3 hours. My blood circulation was begging me to stand up and move, I felt like kidnapped in my seat. We had time to begin to digest the food between dishes. I had the impression that because they have both a la carte and different tasting menus the kitchen was not able to prepare fast enough what they were offering. They have lots of potential but I think they could do much better if they’d stick to either a la carte or one or two tasting menu, Service was very nice, very professional and fast, they were doing very well. Thank you for that.

Memorable Birthday dinner couldn’t fault it. A lovely meal started with Normandy oysters with champagne followed by a chefs choice 5 course taster menu. The place was tasteful with a pleasant ambience. A courses were excellent and the wine pairing worked well. The serving staff were engaging and made our evening . Highly recommended and didn’t break the bank. Thank you.

I asked for tap water, and was given still water and charged €6 for it. It’s ok that they don’t give out tap water, but to just provide still water instead and charge without telling you is wrong. Avoid this restaurant as who knows what other scams they could pull on their customers.
