My friends and I had a great time. Service was excellent, and food was great as usual. On this occasion we ordered a set menu because we did not want to spend too much time deciding what to have. It was an error on our part as each of us did not like different things on the set. Not the restaurant’s fault but our own. The beef tataki is to die for!! We were sated and had a very enjoyable evening. Thank you! May I put in a request please…..to bring back the liquorice crème brûlée! That was your ultimate dessert.
