The excellent service started right at the door and continued throughout the whole dinner. The food was good, but a small minus for very limited vegetarian options - which did not raise to the level of the “normal” dishes. The wine selection was excellent - also the ones sold by glass. The ambience was a bit too noisy for my liking - and the music that was played unfortunately contributed to that.
