After the last 2 bad Saturday dinner experiences, we tried again. And they managed to raise the 1 star rating to 5 again. The food we waited for 1 hour before came very fast and with very good quality. The lady employee who wore glasses was very very polite. We had a nice dinner with my children and my wife.Thank you

This is the first time my husband and I did an 8 course tasting. With incredibly knowledgable staff, mind blowing and complex food, this was a night to remember. When a taste can bring you back to your childhood (much like what happened in Ratatouille), it’s nothing I had ever experienced anywhere else. Even as a non vegetarian, I did not miss the absence of meat. A must “go-to”.
