Service impeccable, endroit joli & agréable, mais plats insatisfaisants en quantité, en qualité des pièces de viande choisies & par manque de légumes. Cuisine joliment apprêtée cependant.

Nous avons apprécié notre soirée même si nous n'avons pas retrouver l'Afrique dans les plats. Ça ressemble d'avantage à de la cuisine française mais le tout est très bien exécuté. J'aurai aimé être surprise & découvrir des saveurs. Nous avons passé une très belle soirée mais je ne suis pas certaine d'y revenir.
