    The place is a bit too trendy and loud, and the food is just ok. Probably the reason why they lost their Michelin star.

    Absolutely great food & chef, average to poor service (as confirmed by several other tables): you'll be a number,so just don't expect any interaction or suggestions based on your personal preferences.

    very disappointed with this restaurant. Everything starts with a cold welcome, you’re "pleased" to wait out, in the corridor because your table is not readyThe dishes are tiny, banal and OVERPRICED.

    Food is so fresh! Some of the dishes are raw so if you're not into sushi don't bother. A bit of a tight space but it's the city so nothing new.

    "Overrated" might be a bit harsh, but was unimpressed by the creativity and size of the dishes as well as the inattentive wait staff. Wholly underwhelming and a bit frustrating due to high prices.
