I've been going to this restaurant since 2003. The only thing that has changed is the decor. The food - is the same quality year after year. Not many restaurants keep good things going, they always feel the need to change things. Here, I was crazy for this food then, & I'm still as crazy for this food now. Always amzingly tasty, awesome portions in a very exotic decor. HIGHLY recommended - FOREVER recommended !

J'y suis déjà allé, j'y suis retourné, je l'ai recommandé à des amis & voilà que ce fut notre premier restaurant en présence depuis la pandémie. L'expérience est toujours grandiose en termes de saveurs, de textures & de variété. Par ailleurs, le vin d'importation privé, bio, était en très belle harmonie avec le tout. Bravo à l'équipe! Vous avez contribué à un très beau moment de nos vacances!

La nourriture est incroyable comme d'habitude, les drinks sont formidables.
Je donne 4* car la clim devait probablement être brisé & il faisait une chaleur accablante ce qui a changé mon expérience globale.
Je vais tout de même continué d'y retourner évidemment pour la nourriture succulente.

The food is good, the service is bad. No A/C inside the resto on a warm humid day :-(. Flies flying everywhere inside & outside the resto. Instead of a wet towel to wash our hands, we were given wet table napkins. We had to ask 2x for another set of table napkins.
