    I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. The risotto was simply exquisite, cooked to perfection with a creamy texture and rich, well-balanced flavors. The highlight, however, was the lobster — prepared with such skill and attention to detail that every bite was a delight. The freshness of the seafood and the artistry in the presentation truly set this dish apart. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience!

    Great food and friendly service. We had a baked Camembert to start with and baked cod with white beans for main. The only reason for one star less is that the profiterole could do with more chocolate, but this is a personal preference. I have been back on numerous occasions and this place never disappoints.
