    Brilliant as usual. The risotto special with Alaskan king crab was phenomenal! Also for the first time I ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was so beautifully presented and so fluffy. Service from the team also great! Thank you!

    no i don't want to post on Open Table because tonight I only have negative things to say and a review based on a one-night experience isn't fair to a restaurant, especially one I usually like

    The kitchen team demonstrated great skills and culinary concepts once again - with many new menu items. I’m glad the duck breast is back. The corn bread combines sweet and savory elements and really you can order it as a shared appetizer or even as a dessert! Love the service team as well. They are so friendly and they always give you recommendations. Thank you again!
