Watching the chefs in action was an absolute delight—their expertise and flair added a touch of theatricality to the dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure every detail was just right. The food itself was a masterpiece of flavors and presentation, each dish more delicious than the last. This restaurant has definitely earned a spot in my regular rotation, and I look forward to many more visits.

Quality execution of what seem to be simple dishes, but are seriously refined. Sitting at the bar was like watching a high trained choreographed dance company.
