The food here is excellent and the ambience has a real buzz to it. The service is excellent. It’s a great eating out experience aimed at millennials. The only downside would be the bar seating which is a poor option for the prices being charged.

Very helpful staff but food disappointing. I went for the sugar pit bacon which was really tough with far too much salt. At €39 euro I would have expected a higher quality of food. My latte was also very disappointing but at least I enjoyed the burnt cheesecake. The staff didn't charge us for the latte or dessert but €16 against €39 euro didn't really compensate especially when the waitress agreed with me that the meat was tough. Maybe our expectations where too high.

Great food, that pumpkin straciatella and the monkfish were incredible. The coktail and limoncello was delicious. Red wine was slightly too cold, but great variety even by the glass.
