Same table, two takes
Great room, good service, food that occasionally remembered what it cost
The atmosphere did most of the heavy lifting here. Service was solid, portions were fair, and a few dishes genuinely worked, especially the bone marrow beef tartare and the maki rolls. Unfortunately, the food overall never quite matched the setting or the price tag. The savoury dishes ranged from decent to very good, but nothing reached “I need to order that again” territory. Then dessert arrived and apparently decided expectations had been running dangerously high. The warm chocolate cookie was particularly forgettable, while the fondant didn't do much to rescue things. A nice restaurant and an enjoyable night, but at this price I want the food to be the reason I come back, not the furniture.
A very good night out with good food, excellent service and a bill slightly more confident than the kitchen
The whole experience worked better than any individual dish. The atmosphere was excellent, the service was genuinely impressive, and the portions were surprisingly reasonable for this kind of restaurant. Food was consistently enjoyable rather than spectacular. The Wagyu beef tacos were one of the stronger dishes, the maki and fries did their job well, and the chocolate fondant finished the meal on a much better note than the cookie. Nothing was bad enough to ruin the evening, but there also wasn’t that one ridiculous dish that makes you start planning your next booking before leaving the table. The biggest weakness is value. It’s good, but the pricing suggests the food should be operating one level higher.
