We reserved here with much expectations but ended up being disappointed.
Food was underwhelming, except for the burrata that was great.
Service was mediocre (made a mistake in our reservation, we were served 3 times the wrong plates & they overcharged our bills with the wrong items).

Nous sommes venus tôt dans la soirée, en famille, avec 2 enfants de moins de 10 ans. Accueil impeccable. Proposition de plats pour enfants. Les serveurs sont aux petits soins pour tout le monde. La cuisine est excellente & les portions, idéales, ni trop ni trop peu. Ambiance chaleureuse & excellents choix musicaux. Une adresse à ne pas manquer !
