    My dad got the caviar as an appetiser and as a main the lobster pasta, which he really recommends. I got the grilled octopus (well cooked, not chewy) and the ndjua pasta, it lacked that kick from the spice but other than that it was very good!

    The food was excellent, it is fairly loud inside which is to be expected as it is pretty much one gorgeous, wide open space with extremely high ceilings. We really appreciated that our waiter did not try to push us on desserts and extra items.

    Souper mère/fille succulent et un super service. Très bel endroit et une ambiance juste parfaite. Un peu bruyant mais on s'entend parler sans crier. Je rec9mmande sans hésitation.

    The service was A one, very attentionate. With the dessert, the waitress put a candle on the cake for our 16th anniversary being together. The food was delicious! We shared the tuna in appetizer and i took the buttersquash raviolis. My husband took the steak and it was great too!
