The staff is extremely gentle, attentive and well prepared. As a collective they stand out from most of the restaurants we have tried. The person who explains the menu has great storytelling skills and definitely knows about the topic and they transmit energy while sharing what they know. The decor is very personal and it does a great job at creating the right atmosphere. The recommended wine was exceptional and we will surely look to find it where we live now. The meat looks fantastic. Unfortunately in my experience it didn 't taste as good as it looked but also as it was promised. I ordered a chuck roll explicitly on a comment that promised this will have a very strong taste and after the waiter repeated twice after they try it people ask me if it 's goat, but it 's obviously beef . I was ready to be blown away by an explosion of taste. I didn 't care if that cut was 70% more expensive than already prestigious other cuts they had. I found my steak to be very chewy (which was called out but not to the degree I experienced it). I didn 't like that it was barely lukewarm: no matter what some of the best chefs may recommend, I like my meat hot and in case it 's too much I let it cool down, not for someone else to do it for me because of some theory on juices retention. The most problematic thing though was the taste, which I found very average. I eat Angus regularly in Ireland (where I live now) and this homegrown version doesn 't truly compare. I shared my feedback with one of the waiters at the moment of payment and they took it in, tried to improve the outcome of the night and adjusted the bill to acknowledge my comment. Then he offered me to shake his hand. I deeply appreciated that gesture that speaks of values now too often forgotten. For this reason I 'm addition to many other actions that spoke of quality I want to believe their other options can impress and I will hope to have a chance to try them in the future. At the same time I also felt I had to document my experience candidly as I always do. Hence the choice of a final score of 4/5. Price per person: €90–100 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

One word that cannot fathom the experience we had. We chose this spot for a nice dinner on our honeymoon in Alghero, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

If you like a good steak , please make time to come! The service was friendly and helpful in making recommendations and explaining their specials. I wish I had more days to try the different cuts of meat. I would avoid the appetizers to make more room for the main events. I was absolutely full at the end, they were able to box of the rest !
