    We had a great time with my friends! The only little thing would be about the spiciness indicators. I thought 2 would be mild but not at all. It was super hot already haha. Other than that, great food and service! Nice atmosphere !

    The atmosphere was great; so bright and airy with a little buzz of chatting. Food was so fresh and delicious. I like the way the wine menu is organised so you can find what you like. The hake in banana leaf is a must try.
