The restaurant offers interesting food with some dishes relying on gimmicks, while others are quite simple. The service is good and the wine and drink list are impressive. The decor is described as dark and dreary, but the staff is welcoming. The culinary creations showcase the chef's skills, though some items were underwhelming. Despite some service issues, the overall experience was positive for most diners. The tasting menu received mixed reviews, with praise for the food and wine pairing, but criticism for rushed explanations. The staff's knowledge and enthusiasm were highlighted, though some felt let down by the decor. Overall, the dining experience was considered excellent by many patrons, with special occasions being particularly memorable.
