Lovely, fun place, nice service, good food. One thing to know: there is a prix fixe available at lunchtime & after 9:30. We arrived at 9:30 & were given the regular menu. When I asked about the prix fixe, the waiter knew nothing about it & went to ask. About 5 min. later he arrived cheerfully with the prix fixe menu, from which we ordered. I noticed that diners who arrived later were also given regular menu. So, FYI, the prix fixe is L37 pp for 2 courses & L42 pp for 3 courses. Smaller but good selection for excellent food & a better value late at night when you’re not in the mood for a huge meal.

The restaurant was very good but however, I must say that the aircon seemed to get colder and colder as the evening progressed which spoiled the ambiance somewhat. The service staff were very friendly and professional but at times seemed quite slow-maybe some staff were off sick? Thank you

Staff were very welcoming and service was good and efficient. Quality of food was excellent but it was a bit expensive. Wine list was extensive but wine seemed overpriced. Overall, a very enjoyable experience for a special occasion.
