    This is more of a small-plates restaurant, so it is not clear exactly what to order, but we enjoyed the char grilled broccoli and the salmon - small but delicious! Our server was very good too. Also good wines by the glass.

    Fantastic experience. Started off with the caviar potato, 10/10 and the Foie gras, 10/10. We ordered the Prime Ribeye and Swordfish. The steak was cooked perfectly. Sides were the sweet potato, creamed spinach and carrots. The sweet potato was massive and the other two sides are easily shareable. Could have split just one side, maybe two. Martini was a 10/10. Our server Bernardo was outstanding and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
