    Excellent food and service plus a lively ambience. So, all in all a great evening. We succeeded, but in truth it was quite difficult to converse with our friends due to the restaurant’s acoustics.

    Always impeccable service and great atmosphere however the food wasn’t as great as usual this time (I had very grisly lamp chips that had very little meat on them and were pure fat) Usually the food is very good so next time I’ll order something else ..
