Most of our dishes were quite good, except the lentil appetizer which was served cold and tasted like stale bread. Service was friendly but they literally kicked us out of the restaurant at 10pm sharp (turned off the music, brightened the lights and said " we are closed". I mean, I appreciate the staff wants to go home. But it was a bit sudden and dramatic!

Food is overall amazing, we tasted around 6 dishes on the menu and they were all equally good. A bit on the pricier side but portions match the price and we were full and happy at the end. Service is impeccable too and we liked how quiet the restaurant was. Only downside would be the decor that although intimate feels a bit bland and uninspiring. But food comes first and that was a great experience.
