Lamb was amazing. Stew just average- overall selection seemed limited? Everything Zi ate was quite good and space very very comfortable. I did miss cocktails however!

Very small and beautifully decorated. It was very loud in there, but the ambiance otherwise was great. Food was great and beautifully presented. They apologized for the service as they are short staffed. You definitely need a reservation or you may have a very long wait.

food was cold and service was poor. We had reservation and arrived right on time. We had to wait 5 -10 minutes for seating, seemed understaffed. The we sat for another 15 minutes till somebody served us water. Finally after more wait we ordered. The food came on time, but the lamb special for the day was not hot, it seemed to have been microwaved . We barely finished the food and left very unsatisfied

Very nice ambiance but the servers didn’t seem very interested in our table even though the restaurant was empty and the food was alright but not stellar. The saffron tea was excellent though!
