Très mauvais service on refuse de me donner une table alors qu on ai deux
One ne va pas donner une table pour deux voilà ce que l'hôtesse a dit perte de temps & d'énergie surtout quand on a réserver d'avance. Vous devriez vraiment revoir vos hôtesse d'accueil vraiment impolie.

This restaurant looks great, but the flavors don't keep up with the aesthetics. The items are overpriced & uninspired. I ordered the blood pudding & my partner ordered the hanger steak. The pudding was just fine, & my partner's steak was pretty, but tough & mediocre in flavor. For this being one of the most expensive meals we've had here it was a disappointment.
That being said, the staff were all friendly & the ambience was well-curated.

Une expérience incroyable chez Lionel ! On adorait déjà l'endroit, mais Franck a vraiment propulsé notre soirée à un autre niveau. Son expertise pour les accords mets & cocktails est tout simplement impressionnante. Tout était parfaitement équilibré & les saveurs se mariaient à merveille. Si vous voulez vivre une expérience qui sort de l'ordinaire, demandez Franck. Merci encore pour ce moment mémorable !
