We had the basic "from the local market" menu, and it was fantastic! Each dish was interesting, delicious and so beautifully presented. The service was impeccable too. A great experience!

The food was 10/10. I am a pescatarian and annoyingly it meant I ate ALOT of fish so it was a bit repetitive by the end, I wish they threw in some veggie meals, but it was so delicious I couldn’t knock the food. Wish they turned the lights down by like 30 percent too and then it would have felt much more intimate

New Year’s Eve. Everything lovely but not quite as good as other Michelin one star. $350 price a little high even for NYE. I don’t think regular sommelier was there as this fellow seemed to have no suggestions

The food was good but the gnocchi was too salty, and the seating is a little too close, I have to listen to the non stop chatting from next table less than 1 meter away all the time.

The appetizer was excellent and the main course was delicious. However, when they gave me the wine pairing, I felt a little different from the top table, such as giving red wine for the fish dish. I even saw white wine being served at other tables. It felt bad because it seemed like different wines were served with the same dishes at different tables. I didn't expect to drink Australian wine in France.

The menu was fabulous. We were fortunate enough to try other restaurants like this one prior to eating here. I realize the service was good but not great. In comparison with the other restaurants, we’ve tried, this one could have done better with the service. The food also was very good. However, not spectacular. I would suggest other restaurants around the area before this one.

Our dining experience was truly exceptional, with each dish offering a unique and delightful culinary journey. The attention to detail in every plate was remarkable. However, we found the sommelier experience could have been improved. When we expressed that we were seeking guidance, we felt the interaction was a bit rushed, and we didn’t receive the level of support we were hoping for as we’re not very experienced with wine selections. A more patient approach would have elevated the overall experience even further.

This is a small bits restaurant. Each plate was very aesthetically pleasing. The food was also very tasty. One plate was gnocchi witch was cooked perfectly and had four sauces on top. PERFECTION. Another plate of Haddock has red grapes and horseradish, the sweet and sour just worked! Not every plate was perfect but they were all fun. This restaurant is not for everyone, but if you are a foodie pays your money and take your chances!

This is an ambitious resto - with a hip younger clientele and a semi-open kitchen. Quite busy and interesting and challenging taste combinations. They have one michelin star already and you get the feeling that they'd like to add another one!
