    the dishes were very good and original. the meat dish could have been a little more generous and the dessert a little less. the value for money was very fair on the dishes. For the wine we were a little disappointed and if we had to do it again, we would have chosen a wine on the menu more to our liking and 2 glasses each would have been enough for us because we are not big drinkers. The wine unnecessarily upped the bill for us. However, we had a great time.

    We came to the restaurant based on the reviews and ratings, but didn’t know much about the concept. The food was very good, but we were disappointed with the choice of drinks. One of us was not a wine lover but had to opt for wine. then there was only one choice of red and white, we didn’t like the red so we all had to drink that one white. I understand having limited choice of wine but one of each is not acceptable for such a fine restaurant. Also the opening/closing time is strange.
