Visited with my wife in August and had high expectations which weren't really met. The set menu was interesting but the taste was very average and you could tell they were adding sugar to the dishes which i really don't like. Overall it was a very expensive experience that we won't be repeating :(

Absolutely fabulous authentic dining experience. I booked a three-course set menu dinner with a couple of friends and we were delighted with the range of dishes to choose from per course. Exceptional value for money considering the reputation of the owner and the restaurant location. Portions are huge, make sure you come on an empty stomach. Staff was very kind and friendly and the general atmosphere created a super homely and cozy feeling.
