Everything about this restaurant was excellent, including the fact that even though it's so close to so many tourist sites, the restaurant was quiet, sophisticated and thoroughly relaxing. Highly recommend.

Delicious food. Service was prompt, but our server was hard to understand and did not have clear explanations of the menu and the different dishes, making us feel rushed. We felt relegated to a tourist corner, despite having made reservations some time ago, so I suggest requesting a preferred table location if you have one.

All-around disappointing experience on Christmas Day; slow and inattentive service, forgotten drink orders, sub-par food. Over 3 hours for a relatively simple 4 course pre-set menu meal. Not sure what happened as usually this place is top-notch, but not this time. They can do better.
