The dining room is beautiful, bright, and has a pleasant atmosphere. The service was excellent, offering helpful advice whenever we needed it. The food was delicious (lobster salad, spider crab ravioli, and baby squid). I appreciated the option to order half portions of all the dishes. The tableware is gorgeous; you can tell they pay attention to detail. When things are done with care and enthusiasm, it shows in the result. Thank you so much to the whole team; I'll definitely be back.

A huge disappointment. The quality, quantity, and price were all very poor. If you know even a little about cooking, you could make the same thing at home. First of all, the "head waitress" was completely unprofessional. She took one of my utensils without asking permission just to look at it (no one had ever taken it before, look, yes, but to take it... that's where professionalism comes in). She spoke very loudly and in a friendly, almost chummy way... in a restaurant that wants to present itself well, this kind of treatment is unacceptable. The food... Simple. The monkfish was swimming in water (I know it releases water, but every good cook knows the secrets to serving it properly) and was on the verge of being overcooked. The dessert... Hazelnut fondant, I'm sure it wasn't caramel. The inside had a caramel/buttery texture, and the outside was very overcooked. The "financiers" to have with the coffee... the inside was raw. In short, the best thing about it was the size of the table and the glasses. I hope this review helps them improve. Best regards.

We had a meal with friends and it was truly wonderful, the service was incredible and the food was spectacular. It's not just a recommendation, it's a must-do.
