Great quality. Twice in one week. Great staff when not overwhelmingly busy as it happened on the first night.

The food is always exceptional. But the ambience makes the experience the best ever. It is beautiful and one of the few places where you can carry a conversation and hear everyone. Was there again the other night. The staff makes you feel special and the chef ended the night with some delicious soufflés.
