    What a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful place and although rather spacious it is calm and relaxed and not noisy at all. The service was attentive without being too much and truly friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing: Steaks cooked to perfection, truffle fries to die for, delicious Tuna tatare as a starter and a lovely bottle of Littorai One Acre. We cannot praise this place highly enough. It truly is outstanding.
