Fantastic lunch for four. Lovely surroundings, really excellent unhurried, helpful and friendly service and really really great food (we had the lunchtime tasting menu every course was a hit).

My wife and I went to this restaurant in autumn last year, and we’re siting here today (in Argentina) still talking about the steak we had there, and how it still ranks as the best I’ve ever had, the wine pairing was perfect too, as was the service. To this day, it’s still one of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It was the perfect evening, and we’re looking forward to coming back again one day soon. Congratulations to the owners and team for curating such an incredible restaurant and dining experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
