This was our first visit, everything was excellent. Unfortunately it did feel a bit cold - The staff did their best to adapt the air conditioning for us too. However, there was a back door that kept being opened and huge wafts of cold would come through. All the staff seemed lovely and went out of their way to take care of us. Food was delicious!

Superb food, wine and good service. The dishes are so beautiful visually and with such stunning flavour. Four of us shared the stuffed courgette flowers, ham, boquerones, tuna tartare, t-bone, tomato and onion salad and surprisingly tasty broccoli. Our friends who know more about wine than us appreciated the great wine list (and chose so well!). What a team and what great food. Thank you and congratulations. Just as good as when we’ve been before.
