It is loud and chaotic and absolutely epic. Food is fantastic and the tasting menu is incredible value, more like a feasting menu! As the evening wears on it becomes even more of a party atmosphere, so book later if that’s what you want, and earlier if that’s not your thing. Highly recommend.

The place is packed and had a wonderful atmosphere. The hostess was kind and even accommodated us about 15 minutes earlier than our reservation. Food: Starters were great, really both delecisous and well presented. So highly recommend them as all we ordered was good. Sadly this doesn't follow through to the main courses which were a mess. Fish was extremely salted to a point that all you could taste was saltiness and not the fish. Spicy pasta was oily and greasy. The flavour was heavily overshadowed by oil taste. The brisket was the only main course which was nice. And probably worth a taste. Drinks: Cocktails and the G&T were simply bad. Even when asking to use higher tier of Gin the end result was not great. Service: The service was bad not because the waiters weren't helpful, but simply due to the fact there were like only 3 of them for a whole 2 floors. Which causes long wait times, missed orders and various mischiefs. To their credits the waiters tried their best. I guess we just expected a bit better from what supposed to be the best food in town.

We came with great expectations and ordered a table about a month ago. Overall the service was professional and welcoming, the atmosphere was live and happy, the products were fresh and wel taken care of, BUT not very tasty and fulfilling for the sole and stomach. Also very noisy to the point that it was impossible to say a word without shouting it for several times. We set at the upper floor and the tables were almost one above each other so it was uncomfortable. we almost shared our table with the one behind us. I expected more than this.

The aperitif and starters were very good, but the main course was extremely disappointing the risotto was unpleasantly sour. The atmosphere also didn’t work for us: the music was so loud that it was difficult to hear each other. Our server forgot about our table, and we received the main dishes only after reminding her and to be honest, it would have been better not to get them at all given the quality. The prices in the restaurant are significantly inflated, and the final touch was the server insisting on a 10% tip. It left us wondering whether the staff rely solely on tips rather than service. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience.

It is a but controversial place. Food and service are good, you get to see the open style kitchen so no secrets how meals are prepared. At the same time place is kind of small, everything is squeezed and kind of rushed with very basic interior. Few cocktails make everything better. Prices are high but as well as the quality.
