Ordered the mid range Chef's Menu & it was phenominal. Service was fantastic but the food was even better. Higly recommend putting your experience in the Chef's hands.

We had an excellent meal here with absolutely brilliant service from Claudio Franco as well as others. The spicing was done perfectly & the menu was interesting. We would go back again tomorrow if we hadn't reserved elsewhere. The only minor thing was the overly loud music from the 80's.

Julian is the most incredible shucker/server I’ve ever had. He is shrimply the best at what he does. Jihan is also amazing. He reminds me of a more attractive Johnathan Richman & I mean that in the best way possible. If you don’t go here, you’re silly.

Good food, but overpriced. It's right in the middle of the touristic downtown though, so it's understandable

Repas pour 2 personnnes 652$ - coût abusif bien que la cuisine soit très bonne, pour les raisons suivantes: salles à manger extrêmement bruyante où il est pratiquement impossible de se parler sans crier. Nous étions 6 & on nous a assis sur une banquette très étroite, au coude à coude. Très inconfortable. Dès que les desserts ont été servis, les factures arrivent, on vous laisse à peine terminer votre dessert. On vous fait payer subito presto pour ensuite vous foutre à la porte parce que d'autres clients attendent. Ne vous fiez pas au menu uniquement car vous allez être déçu de votre expérience. C'est un piège à touriste.
