    As quickly as the food came out that’s how quickly it was finished. My partner and I ate it within 10 minutes in complete silence and were so impressed with how amazing the food was. Looking forward to coming again and actually savouring the food next time.

    We were warmly greeted upon arrival. Charming small cozy restaurant right next door to the Marriott where we were staying. I so enjoyed my red sangria I had 2. The cows milk with lavender honey, walnuts and bread was our favorite 🤩. The chicken skewer and slider were also very good. And a neighboring table insisted on letting us try her potatoes - kind of huge but also very good. And créma catalan with a gift small glass of really tasty port. Highly recommend

    We had a great table for 2 at the front edge, with a clear view of the opera house and the people strolling the waterfront. The linguine with seafood was delicious, as was the burrata and the Italian beer. Tiramasu was tasty, but we wished we had shared because the portion was huge! On Christmas Eve, it was very busy, so service was a bit off, but all the servers were so pleasant that I can’t fault them.
