The savory food was excellent and the decor was cozy yet interesting. The dessert was tasty and much more interesting than a standard throwaway dessert menu would be, but less well-executed than the savory food.

Food was excellent. We ordered the pre-fixe menu. A good selection to choose from. Certain items had an upcharge (Lamb chops) which was not a problem at all. The octopus appetizer was very tender, the lamb was flavorful and had no strong gamey tastes, which I appreciated. The Chicken was perfectly cooked. However I think the garnishes could be better instead of a floret of broccoli and a floret of cauliflower. Nonetheless our experience was great and I will be back.
