Bad service & food. got sick after eating here. do not advice this place is garbage. The chef look disgusting & have no respect touching clients with his hand then going back cook food with out washing his hands. To answer your lack of accountability & empathy for someone that got sick at your restaurant for bad hygiene. I did went to your restaurant & i know by the fact the door was open.

More like a 3.5/5.

There's a lot of potential. The beef & falafels were great. The kale quinoa salad could have been great if the halloumi had been grilled/baked/sauteed, & if there weren't a ton of fried chips. The fries looked delicious & hand cut, but were not crispy or fluffy inside. The homemade cavatelli were just warm, gummy & the combination rather bland.

The manager is walking around greeting some people, which is nice, but he does not pay attention to details. At 6:30 pm, the sofa was disgusting. Food spilled all over, white stains in many places. We cleaned it up ourselves.

Excellent restaurant. Nous avons apprécié la tranquillité, le service amical des employés. Il y avait peu de clients mais les gens parlaient à voix basse. Un endroit où l'on peut finalement avoir une discussion sans être obligé de crier. Les plats sont savoureux, tout spécialement la salade de canard. Portion très généreuse. Nous avons également découvert un excellent vin blanc & un autre rouge suite aux recommandations. Vraiment une belle soirée. Nous y retournerons c'est certain.
