The Experience
From Michelin Guide
In a stylish high-ceilinged room, diners sit at tables set with top-drawer tableware to enjoy classic cuisine that impresses with its sense of finesse and perfect craftsmanship. The well-defined flavours and fantastic contrasts also incorporate the odd Asian influence. Top-quality produce is of course the order of the day. The well-organised and professional service team also provides expert wine recommendations.
