    Stepping into this culinary haven felt like entering a world where every detail was orchestrated to perfection. From the moment we arrived with our friends, the restaurant's ambiance embraced us—an exquisite balance of sophistication and warmth, with softly glowing lights and elegantly set tables whispering promises of an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable, a masterclass in attentiveness without intrusion. Every need was anticipated, every question answered with genuine enthusiasm. The staff moved with a choreography that was as seamless as it was impressive, making us feel both pampered and welcomed. And then, the food of Mediterranean flavours. Oh, the food! Each dish was a revelation—a symphony of flavors that surprised and delighted at every turn. The creativity and precision that went into each plate were nothing short of artistry. From the first bite to the last, we were entranced by layers of flavor that unfolded like a story, with unexpected notes and harmonious pairings that left us in awe. We and our friends, seasoned travelers and diners who frequent Michelin-starred establishments around the world, agreed without hesitation: this was one of the best meals we've had in years. The entire experience was transcendent, a celebration of culinary brilliance that we will remember and rave about for a long time to come. A true gem that sets the standard for excellence.

    The grill platter for two was a miss. There was not enough food for two and half of the tray was covered with home fries. Not worth 65 USD.
