Quelle belle découverte de saveurs. Très apprécié. La seule chose étant que si on prend son temps pour manger, les aliments sur les plateaux de dégustation refroidissent trop rapidement. La salle pourrait bénéficier d'une meilleure aération.

Food & service was amazing! I came here for my birthday with two friends. Damien, our server, was awesome! He explains some of the dishes, told us about the Afro-Jazz nights on Fridays. Best service I've ever had! The restaurant is nicely decorated & clean. Highly recommended!!

Joli ambiance, bonne qualité de nourriture (nous avons essayé le plat dégustation), vin maison tout à fait correct. Un peu bruyant & table un peu serrés.
