Honestly the food, & cocktails were amazing but the restaurant was too loud to think at some points. I think this is a personal preference as if you like loud 80s music it would be a vibe. The service was great but maybe a little too fussy for my liking but again that is a personal preference.

What can I say. I never write reviews but something unique happened prompted me to share. Yes, the food & service was fantastic at Mare. Really what you would expect for exquisite dining. But what moved me was the EXTRA mile that Bass extended to me at the end of the evening. My hotel was about a 3mins walk. Some of the staff tried to find an old umbrella for me to have but could not find. Bass told his staff he was returning & walked me to the hotel in the pouring rain, with the doggie bag, to ensure I was soaked on the way back. Thanks you Bass & all the staff that made my work dinner an even more pleasurable experience!

Last night I had the opportunity to try this new restaurant at the old port.
The value for money is absolutely incredible: only 28 dollars per lobster burrata!!!!

I ate two appetizers (burrata & crostino with tuna), a first course (gnocchi with peas & red shrimp) & an incredible dessert( creme caramel)

The service was detailed & curated.
Exceptional food.
The bill is absolutely proportionate.

I will definitely come back
Highly recommended

3e visite ici. Les 2 premières ont été heureuses mais la 3e très décevante il y a quelques jours.
1) service très lent & maladroit. Nous sommes restés avec nos assiettes d'entrée jusqu'à ce que les plats de pâtes au crabe arrivent & ils ont dû retourner nos assiettes pour nous débarrasser.
2) plats fades & prix très élevés (900$ pour 4 personnes sans apéro ni dessert)
3) La serveuse savait que ça n'allait pas du tout. En guise d'excuse, on nous apporte une portion individuelle de tiramisu au centre de la table pour 4 personnes. 😕 Vraiment gênant.
Nous recevions des clients de Milan & ils ont été très déçus de leur expérience.
On nous explique qu'il y aura des rénovations sous peu & qu'ils sont en réorganisation.

Truly excellent experience! Beautifully crafted dishes, refined flavors, & top-quality ingredients. Impeccable service: attentive & professional. A special thanks to Bruno for his recommendations on both the dishes & wine pairings, which made the dinner even more memorable. Highly recommended!
