This restaurant is a perfect choice for a memorable date night. While not inexpensive, it delivers exceptional value with outstanding cuisine. The limited menu showcases each dish beautifully, and our indulgence in caviar was a true highlight—served with all the classic accompaniments in an elegant presentation. The ambience is both stylish and refined, and the service strikes a great balance: attentive and friendly without being overbearing. It is not the sort of place for a casual dinner or a spontaneous drop-in, but it is ideal for special occasions, especially for married couples with kids looking to celebrate. Highly recommended for a treat-worthy evening out.
