Everything is perfect except my table is next to the corridor. I already make a reservation in advance but unfortunately, it can’t help. Maybe I need to book much more early.

Nice place with an incredible bar and cocktail menu. The service is warm and concerned. The atmosphere is suitable for small tables. The cocktails ans whiskies menu is very interesting and plenty. Now, depending on the area you are the chitchating of others may become a noise. Be aware. Two things to improve, from my modest point of view: some tables need better light to be able to reed the menu proerly and please reduce the amount of ice on the cocktails: makes difficult to drink.
