    It's the real deal. Food was spectacular. Service was "casually professional" - loved that. Can a bar be "gorgeous" ? - this one is !

    Excellent experience. One of the best meals we’ve had in the city. Portions were generous (to the point we were bursting at the seams) and every item on the menu was thoughtfully planned. Highly recommended!

    I was looking forward to dining here after seeing many great reviews and the restaurant in the Michelin guide. Frankly, my friend and I were quite disappointed and very underwhelmed by our experience. We had the taste of BN menu, which included the mushroom dumplings, fried eggplants, BN, trout and fried chicken dish. The dumplings and eggplants flavours were overpowering, it was dumplings floating in sweet-soy sauce. The BN salad was a few pieces of lettuce and Parmesan and light vinaigrette, truly nothing ground breaking. The trout and the fried chicken were just.. ok. My main grievance is that all the dishes came LUKEWARM, with long wait times in between. The service was slow, finished dishes were not taken away (it was obviously done) before serving the next one, cutlery was not provided with the dish and we had to ask for it. It felt very uncoordinated and disorganized. The whole dining experience was very underwhelming and mediocre, especially at a Michelin “Bib gourmand” restaurant.

    Our server was great, food was very good but the drink/cocktails were a big disappointment. Not what I would expect from a restaurant with such a great reputation.

    Lunch midweek: All our dishes, poke' bowls and chicken sandwich with fries, were fresh and good. Service was attentive and in good time. Good value, too. I'd go back.

    Brought my wife here for an anniversary dinner and everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were amazing and attentive, and wanted to make sure that we had a great experience. They were great at answering questions and explaining the menu. The owners attended and wished us and made sure the experience was good. The food was spectacular. BN delivered, and nothing we had was disappointing at all
