Unbelievable food & service. The staff were incredible, kudos to Alex, the 3 Sam’s & Daniel especially! Food was exceptional, meticulously prepared and presented, and the passion was infectious from the staff and Chefs. We had 14 courses and each one was unique and memorable. Highly recommend if you fancy the ultimate fine dining experience!
Went there with high expectations since they’re a Michelin two stars restaurant but turned out i can only rate them two stars on google. Waiter came to us before the main dining started just to sell us the upgrades-caviar and truffle. If you don’t get these, you’ll have to wait for others to finish this extra dish before moving on. I paid £300 and could hardly see any high end ingredients like lobster, only few pieces of mussels ,beef and squid were given. Overrated.
Excellent Michelin 2 Stars restaurant! Very delicious. Good service! Food temperature can be improved on some dishes! Highly recommended
What an amazing restaurant and setup. What you would expect from 2 Michelle stars restaurant, outstanding quality and execution. Service was exceptional and all the dishes were made to perfection. Sitting at a U shape, shared table, watching the kitchen in action as they make the most beautiful art pieces made for a unique experience. As expected, this place is on the pricier side at $300+ per person being the staring point. However, definitely worth trying once in a lifetime if possible. Only downside was the dessert, which felt a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of our meal, which was constantly building up to higher and higher expectation as we were moving forward, bite after bite. Overall, well done!
