So enjoyed my steak and chips and dulche de leche pancakes from the set menu. Many thanks to the chef who kindly cooked fried onions instead of the sauce. Service first-rate as always

It was a great dining experience with good food, service and ambience! The food portions are a bit small, which was reflected from the price.
