This meal was amazing. Would go back again and again. Menu is so versatile. Best wine pairing we've ever had. Every course was incredible including the amuse. Best duck I've ever had.

Food was delicious! We did the four course menu and every dish was excellent. The service was a bit lacking. I’m a bit surprised this is a Michelin star restaurant based on the service. Our waiter wasn’t particularly friendly and the front door was stuck for every guest trying to enter. The cocktails were ok and felt gimmicky. The Sahara cocktail with a train and mini Christmas trees was a head scratcher.

The best dining out experience we've had in the last 3 to 4 years! The tasting menu delivered delightful surprises with each plate. While the presentation was visually appealing, the taste was even better. The wine pairing was spot on and generous. This experience ran circles around our recent visit to Jont. We will definitely be back soon!

The 4 course price fixe menu has some surprises. They do give you something extra like daal, breads and rice. That is actually a very nice touch. The food is great, the service attentive. The main dining room is fully enclosed and it needs windows. All in all a great experience but not good value for money.
