The atmosphere was romantic and cosy like your own private library, you feel like you should be sipping some scotch by the fire. The place was ideal for a memorable date night or a cozy celebration. We enjoyed a glass of smooth Cabernet and savored the foie gras uni appetizer. The cabernet smelled like flower petals and was rich on every tiny sip. The presentation was exquisite, with a tiny piece of succulent seared foie gras crowned by a sliver of uni. The taste was sublime, with the buttery foie gras complemented by the subtle saltiness of the uni.We ordered a tray of a dozen and shared it among a large party, the oysters Huge! And super were fresh and juicy. They were a delightful start to the meal.For my main course, I indulged in a perfectly seared tomahawk steak. The impressive steak came on a generous platter with a handful of arugula and a burst of cherry tomatoes. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior.We had Squid ink pasta with chunks of lobster was a stunning dish in a clear donut bowl. The pasta was rich and flavorful, with the lobster adding a touch of sweetness.We had Short rib with bone marrow was the highlight of the evening. The bone marrow was decadent and smooth, resting on a bed of velvety mashed potatoes. The short rib was fork-tender and juicy.I look forward to coming back and try the oysters, foie gras and uni, short rib and bone marrow once again.

The ambiance was cozy and romantic, perfect for a special occasion or intimate dinner.I started off with a glass of rich red Cabernet and ordered the foie gras uni appetizer. The dish arrived beautifully plated, with a bite sized portion of creamy seared foie gras topped by a small portion of uni. The flavors were delicate and balanced, with the richness of the foie gras offset by the slight brininess of the uni.The oysters were sumptuous and plump. They were a delicious appetizer. For my main course, I couldn't resist ordering the tomahawk steak. The enormous steak arrived on a large platter accompanied by a sprinkling of arugula and smattering of sweet cherry tomatoes. The steak was cooked to medium rare, with a crusty exterior. Squid ink pasta with tender chunks of lobster was beautifully displayed in a clear donut bowl. There was so much umami in one bite.Short rib with bone marrow was the best dish of the evening. The bone marrow was fatty and unctuous and sat on a small mound of creamy mashed potatoes. The short rib melted in my mouth.I would return and order the oysters, foie gras and uni, short rib and bone marrow.
