    Fantastic food, service and ambience. A little pricey but perfect for special occasions.

    Great starters, but got educated on how a medium rare steak should look like.. not very pleasant. Would not go here again

    I reserved the private room for my husband’s birthday, with the understanding that it would be exclusive to our group and no other guests would enter. Unfortunately, this was not properly managed. The manager and waiter did not maintain control of the space, and I had to repeatedly get up to ask them to either lock the door or place a sign outside. It took several reminders before any action was taken. Considering the amount I spent, I expected a much higher standard of service. Regrettably, the experience did not meet those expectations.

    Hi Anda, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We completely understand how important it was for the space to feel private and uninterrupted, especially for such a special occasion. Your feedback regarding the management of the room has been noted and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure clearer communication and better control of exclusive bookings moving forward. We appreciate you choosing to celebrate with us and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more considered experience in the future.

    I’m a big snob for great food irrespective of price. We did the tasting experience and were blown away. From the starters to the dessert- exceptional food and even better service. Will definitely be back soon!
