    The food was good. The butter that comes with the bread is excellent- probably the best thing we had. The accoutrements for the oysters were good too. However, we had to wait for a very long time for our mains to arrive. If our server had checked in on us from time to time to explain what was going on in the kitchen, it would have been forgivable. I would also understand if it was a very busy night, but there were a lot of empty tables around us. Our server also looked away from us multiple times and tried not to catch our eyes before the mains came. Weird experience. But good food. Nothing spectacular though. Would I go again? For the amount of money I spent, no. Not worth the abysmal service.

    Our experience was absolutely amazing. I have a lot of allergies and the chef and waiter were patient and had no trouble accommodating me. It was the first time in 3 years that I felt safe eating in a restaurant.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Our first time there, and certainly not our last. We were welcomed, looked after throughout the evening, had meaningful and solid recommendations for drinks and dinner, and left happy! I definitely recommend paying them a visit.

    I was really looking forward to coming back here. My wife and I had our wedding reception here a few years ago, and we decided to come back for our 3rd anniversary. The food was great, much like the last time. We had the tartare, which is probably some of the best that we’ve had. We also split a Caesar salad which was also delicious. The problem started with the wine. They didn’t have the one that we ordered - no problem generally. Except that we were told to simply « pick something else » - no suggestions or guidance. I get that it was a Sunday, and I assume that the sommelier was probably not in, but you would think a server at a restaurant of this calibre would be familiar with the wine list. The second bottle that we ordered had to be put on ice since it wasn’t cold. They did comp us a glass of Prosecco, but I honestly felt abandoned after that. We were left with empty glasses and plates while the server chatted with FoH. I just gave up and asked for a check at that point. It was a really disappointing experience. I’m sure that it was just an off night, and it most certainly did not reflect our wedding dinner experience. The whole experience left me with a sour taste, though.

    We were at the restaurant to celebrate a family birthday and had 18 guests. The organising of our event was ably steered by E18teen's Event Organiser. Everything was absolutely perfect for the party and only superlatives should be used. The restaurant was unbelievably busy and that didn’t cause the slightest issue. Or at least any that we could see! All service colleagues were ready for us, all the food was delicious and we enjoyed the space. People were able to mingle and they did before, after and during the meal. The service was exceptional - unobtrusive and kind. Just what one would wish.

    Une très belle découverte, la nourriture était succulente, ils ne tardaient pas pour nous ramener nos assiettes et tout le temps avec le sourire. Notre serveur était très aimable à l’écoute souriant, et venait chaque fois nous demander si tout aller bien. À la fin on a eu une attention très apprécié du chef vu que c’était notre anniversaire de mariage Vraiment je recommande cette endroit
