La nourriture était incroyable, les produits étaient frais, les saveurs bien agencées. Les portions permettaient de goûter à plusieurs choses différentes. Le service était cinq étoiles exception faite du fait que personne dans le restaurant ne pouvait s’adresser à nous même dans un français rudimentaire. Seul bémol: deux adultes, quatre enfants, deux bières en fût, sans prendre les plats les plus dispendieux: 525$ et nous n’avions pas trop mangé. Nous recommandons!
