4.3 / 5.0(2,247 reviews)
We tried from both the classic and the seasonal menu, the food was out of this world. A try delight and the vibe is pleasant and inviting. After more than 10 times this is probably my go to in tell advice for a Good Night Out! I highly recommend this place. We did the tasting menu which was a brilliant choice. The service was impeccable. Waiter was patient and knowledgeable about the dishes. Cocktail was really good. Most similar places make very boring cocktails so it was nice for a change. I think the duck liver alongside the ravioli was the best dish in the tasting menu. Only downside was the steak which tasted nice but was almost well-done (see photo). I would definitely return. We had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant. The service was absolutely perfect — attentive, friendly, and professional. Each of us ordered different dishes, including the “chef testing” menu, and everything was both flavorful and beautifully presented. At the end of the meal, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert. It was a thoughtful gesture, and the dessert itself was delicious and memorable.

I actually never thought I would give such a famous restaurant in the foodies community such a low rating... but besides the environment everything was really lacking. I came here with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday and I was actually very excited but left in mixed feelings. can't understand what the hole bragg was about... The food was lacking flavor I literally went to eat a sandwich on Rothschild after this experience and it was a lot better then this place. Sorry but I will not be returning here.

Very good food (especially the sea food black pizza pizza!) and interesting ingredients. Service was good starting from the hostess, we had a reservation and there was a little holdback so they gave us champagne while we wait as this kind of restaurants should do. Prices are reasonable for a chef restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also nice.
