    Overall was a good experience. However we arrived a little bit earlier and were asked to wait outside the restaurant. I cannot believe that a one michelin star doesn’t have a bar where people can wait for their table, or they could have offered a welcome drink at least. Also, I didn’t like the fact that the service was a bit too fast, the food is very good and flavorful and if you bring the dishes at a fast pace you don’t have the time to clean your palate in between courses.
