    Went for pre-prom lunch, setting is nice and ordering system novel. Staff kindly taken into consideration of our promo schedule to recommend courses. Food is amazing to our taste and eyes, will visit again for sure.

    Nice restaurant with attentive, informed staff. Good food as it should be for the price tag. It is at the higher end of the scale but the presentation and food quality is about right.

    Definitely will come again and recommend to my friends. The food is fresh and yummy. Service is good and wine is good too. Although we ordered 3 courses but the portion is big and very full.

    This was the first time we ever tasted the chef’s tasting menu dinner. What a fabulous night we spent here. The service is good and the food was stunning. A little advice for you is the dessert can be improved, i.e. the taste of clementines is weak with just sour taste and the butter can be barely tasted for the pie. But the overall is great.

    For me this was a really outstanding experience in every way. Surrounded by beautiful modern art in a calming and relaxed but professional atmosphere we were served a mixture of food and wine that was amongst the best we have ever had worldwide. The chef is a true artist and we genuinely appreciated his sense of the earthly and the heavenly. The wine pairings (apart from the last sparkling one) were completely outstanding. The lamb with the Californian red, incredible, the Virtuoso pairing of Japanese white wine with the astonishing celeriac course. Too many beauties to mention but all was impeccable, and served with class and humour. The desert, a peach tart literally touched by god, must be hard to pair with, and this failed for us, but the same with cold, the crunch with less crunch with soft, the earthy peach… there really aren’t the words for me to describe. Suffice to say, we liked it.
