The décor & ambiance are absolutely stunning. While I have no doubt the cocktails are exceptional, I found the mocktails a bit underwhelming-they tasted more like simple juices, likely due to the absence of a non-alcoholic base. That said, the overall experience was still thoroughly enjoyable.

Great place & atmosphere. Amazing drinks & menu. Be prepared to wait in the waiting room if there's a lot of people. It took about 45mins to get a table for a group of 4.

Nous avons organisé un événement corporatif dans la salle privée à l'arrière. Je donne un 5 sur 5 pour le service, tant avant que pendant l'événement. Ce fut un réel plaisir de collaborer avec Roxane pour l'organisation, & le service pendant l'événement était impeccable.
