    Food and service both superb. Seating at the bar counter was fine, a little cramped if you’re tall. Lighting was on the darker side. A few more champagne’s by the glass would’ve been nice. Overall an expensive experience but you definitely get the moneys worth. Big, bold and rich flavours and knowledgeable, friendly staff.
