Outstanding food, we loved it, it was so tasty and fresh, presentation was amazing. The restaurant has very interesting design and service was very friendly and professional. We were only surprised that we could eat from fairly small sized plates as bigger ones were not used in the restaurant but our experience was great anyway.
