    A beautiful space and a delicious experience. Treat it like a tapas situation and try as many dishes as possible.

    The food was moderately good , but nothing stood out as outstanding that I said ,” OMG I have to come back . Considering how much we paid , the location & the portions being in the small side , we won’t return . Service was decent.

    Disappointed.... was really looking forward to a wonderful evening , time to enjoy a creative meal. and a good conversation. And that did not happen. Starting with the positives: services 5+ stars, dining room- modern, spacious, beautiful! The rest is a part of the negative list: noise level is deafening! When you come to have dinner, you probably also want to have a conversation unless your goal is to quickly consume your food and leave. Conversation is impossible, you can't hear yourself. Food,- the main attraction in the Michelin Star restaurant- was not attractive., not even visually. Tuna tostadas on a soft bread? Should not tostadas be toasted? At least i've expected them to be. And then you get a salty tuna with a extremely salty olives on top, the flavors did not match and instead they collide. The seaweed noodles, another hodge podge dish that did not feel like the ingredients were meant to be together. The flourless chocolate tart was ordinary. All in all- NOT a Michelin star experience. Prices though ARE.

    Incredible cocktails (both alcoholic and non alcoholic) and a superb wine list. I wasn't blown away by every dish but there were a few standouts, very notably the burrata and fava beans (which is quite an accomplishment as fava beans aren't usually a standout) and the duck. The service was outstanding and I would love to go back.

    All the food was incredible! Service team made solid efforts to be friendly and courteous. However, there were some organizational struggles; our table was not ready until about 15 min after the 8pm reservation time. Party was left standing by the bar. Eventually, we were seated at a table that I saw was actually empty and prepped for at least 5 minutes. Then our courses were a bit rushed since they wanted to wrap up our meal by closing time. Overall would return. But be prepared to wait
