Service was attentive, but not particularly warm. Others at the bar and front of the restaurant had better service. Bartender clearly loves his job, so would recommend sitting there if you don’t want privacy. Regular tables are packed very tightly together. Food was fantastic - we had the scallops, lamb and potatoes. All were well presented and packed with flavour. We only needed a light meal as we’d been eating our way around the city, but if here for a full meal, I’d recommend 3 mains and a couple of sides for 2 people. Wine and cocktails are all reasonably priced.

Gasmin our server was great. We ordered the prix fixe which was good. I loved the salad and the desert but the main ( essentially fried haddock) was good but not great. Next time I’ll order off the main menu The place has a beautiful art nouveau decor and is in a great neighborhood I’d recommend it and as I said our server was great
