What a fantastic experience. A rainy Tuesday evening last minute booking and we had a great table, the service was exceptional and the food amazing. Everything was top quality, presented well and can out in the perfect timing. The sushi was delicious and the duck pancakes are a must! The steak is phenomenal (you grill it yourself to your liking on a hot stone) all in all a fabulous evening.
