Beautiful spot with excellent service and long menu (ie lots of choice). However, the food was quite mediocre. My partner had calamari and they were so salty. You could barely eat them. I had one he beef carpaccio, which was delicious. I ordered the seafood pasta (bland). My partner had the rabbit pasta (which was salty). Both dishes were not particularly tasty given the high quality of ingredients used. The wines were excellent, as was the choice. A nice place for dinner, but the pastas were subpar.

A beautiful wholesome experience. Everyone had a job and they got it done. From the welcoming, to being seated, food and drinks arriving was seamless. Each dish was brought out by various kitchen staff and talked you through the dishes. Fergus made a excellent wine pairing for us, allowing it to be specialised and personalised from local wines to wines from around the world. It was amazing seeing the city view from the afternoon to sunset and then getting to enjoy a cocktail in the Lui Bar to finish off. A massive thanks to the whole team for an incredible experience. An experience that I hope to get to do again!
