    Fantastic service and food was incredible, with one exception, with good selection of drinks. Four stars and not five as my steak was really disappointing, over salted and very basic. Expected something more in line with their other dishes.

    The booking process was very easy, hospitality was first rate from the time we got there till we left, the service was very friendly and very efficient. The food was outstanding (the iceberg lettuce and shrimp, the oysters, and the burger). Thank you very much for an enjoyable evening.

    My dad got the caviar as an appetiser and as a main the lobster pasta, which he really recommends. I got the grilled octopus (well cooked, not chewy) and the ndjua pasta, it lacked that kick from the spice but other than that it was very good!
