Premiere fois au grinder
Ambiance vraiment sympa
Nourriture bonne
Service déplorable. Aucun apéritif ne nous a été proposé. nous avons dut appeler le serveur pour pouvoir prendre un dessert. Impossible de prendre un café les additions ayant déjà été proposées.
Notre serveur était là pour encaisser ses 15% sans se soucier du service.

Chic hot spot, for sure. The food's good, but you're easily distracted by all people who wanna be seen :) I've been a few times & have never been disapointed. Good tartares, veal, sides..not more than that.

Our first impression of the staff was unfortunately not very good. When we walked in, the host was fiddling with the seating chart for a few minutes before even acknowledging our presence & our waitress’ attitude was too relaxed & unprofessional. The kitchen was very efficient as the wait for our meals once we had ordered was barely noticed. & the food was delicious!

All in all, the foodie in me was very satisfied with the meal & the designer in me really enjoyed the modern & trendy décor. The music was not aggressive nor was it too loud & the ambiance was very enjoyable. The courtyard-like terrasse is very inviting & bright. Also, the restaurant is open onto the terrasse, & this almost made me forget that I was sitting indoors!

Un peu dispendieux mais la nourriture est d'une qualité supérieur. On dit que les Jeudis sont à découvrir ! Bref pour un Samedi soir c'était parfait. Sacha notre serveur à su bien nous conseiller & était très attentif à nos besoins ce qui fait augmenter ma note. Somme toute je recommande fortement ce resto pour une soirée en couple, en groupe ou encore pour une first date du tonnerre !!!
Je souhaite longue vie à ce resto :-) giod job guys !

Worth the trip. The best beef carpaccio I've tasted thus far. Melted in your mouth. The bavette was expertly prepared & melted in your mouth. Our waitress was very attentive & we lacked for nothing. Definitely a must try.
