Great night. The whipped goats cheese is cold which would have been good to know before we ordered.

They treated us exceptionally good. Great welcome Diana was so kind to explain us everything in the menu and the welcome. The other 2 barman were so attentive. We had to celebrate 2 events and they prepared a beautiful dessert plate. The drinks were outstanding the magic glass and the top signature were a wow! Thanks I will see you soon 💖

Staff were very helpful and attentive. It was nice to receive a complimentary cocktail on arrival and the cocktail menu is very original. My only minus point would be that the 2 lamps on the table are really big and block the views of other people in the party. Candles or smaller lamps would be fine.

This place is very plush. The food is ‘tapas style’ so if you’re going for dinner you may need a few bites. The food was tasty and it did fill us. A bit on the pricey side but it is a premium place. The drinks were all lovely, we got cocktails and wine. The staff were very tentative, giving a 5 star treatment. Very nice night
