    With so many restaurants in the city, very few reasons for repeat visits to one particular place but would definitely go back here for the wagyu beef tartare. It was so uniquely flavourful, I can’t remember tasting anything else like that anywhere else. The Iberico pork, the crudo and the duck papardelle were good although couldn’t really taste any foie gras. The service was excellent so that makes up for any shortcomings (which were very few). Definite must try

    Went during a very busy day and what seems to be short-staffed amount of chefs, so the mains for the 6 of us coming all at the same time came a little more than warm but not hot. However, the flavours were all there and very delicious. Including their appetizers and desserts.

    Beautiful evening from start to finish for our anniversary. Ordered from the a la carte menu and everything tasted great and was well presented. Had the milk bread, beef tartare, amber jack crudo, Jamon Iberico, fois gras parfait, duck parpadelle, fried octopus, wagyu tenderloin, iberico pork main. Will definitely return.

    We went there for dinner and a host called ahead of time to check food allergies, etc. which was a nice touch. Service was great and overall very attentive without being overbearing. The manager, who was also the sommelier, was attentive and knowledgable. Food was great and definitely a good place to share plates.

    We did the tasting menu which offered 10 courses of deliciousness. Every dish was creative, diverse and the presentation was beyond!!. The service was excellent and the courses well paced. The design and decor were exquisite, tasteful and very comfortable. Highly recommend.
