Reviews
Great dinner: extensive mix of seafood plates, roasted goose and crab rice, with fine Burgundy red and white. Life is good!
I visited this restaurant with a friend for a school project about sustainability. Absolutely devastating for my wallet but we almost forgot to do the school work cuz the food got us hypnotised bro the mud crab with garlic rice was insane
The food quality was very disappointing. The uni is smelly, and the pasta was severely undercooked. Furthermore, the service was highly inattentive. We had to explicitly ask for sharing plates, and the staff didn’t even bother to ask if anything was wrong when they cleared our largely untouched food. Overall, it was a disorganized experience. It felt like the restaurant was either severely understaffed or simply prioritizing their regulars at the expense of new customers.
Overall the restaurant is dim and quirky with character, some cute stuff here and there. However the dishes are a little disappointing. Some of the flavours do not go well together. The crab roe rice is the best dish of the night.
