I felt that out of 5 dishes, 4 were all quite spicy, even though I had asked the waitress if they were spicy. She assured me they weren't so this was a little disappointing. I did let the waitress know at the end of the meal so hopefully they can take that feedback on-board. Otherwise the dishes were very nice and well timed, well presented. I would definitely return. The cocktails were very good too. We had 5 main courses, and a dessert each, and a cocktail each, the total was €138 which I think was good value. Shame we couldnt afford the wagyu beef, cheapest cute was €100.

We got a last minute table for two at the counter the weekend before Christmas. The service and food were amazing - it's not super cheap, but we felt like we had value for money.
