A great breakfast plate for a 20-person group! The waiters are always so kind and proactive. Plus... there’s always plenty of coffee (and decaf). Thank you!

Wow! An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Our group was given a beautiful private dining room with two dedicated servers. The food was delicious - three of us had the Penne di Trieste and were all excited to try to recreate this dish at home, it was so good! Unlimited fresh bread for the table too! And very well priced. The BYOB option is a really nice touch - you get to bring the wine you love (or your beverage of choice), it's much more affordable than buying full bottles at the restaurant, and the servers will still uncork and serve the table! What really made our night though was the service. I was absolutely blown away by the level of courtesy, professionalism and dedication shown by our servers : Mani (Emmanuel) and Kibam were outstanding. Everything was taken care of, no request was denied and they did their all to ensure that our evening was perfect. I've rarely received such good service at a restaurant, let alone for group dining. They were quick, they thought of everything ahead of time and the result was a very happy, well fed group. Thank you for my fantastic birthday dinner! We will 100% be back!!

I love this place, because you can bring your own drink. The food is 10/10, at least the food I tried there. It’s not even pricey, I think the price is decent tbh.

Finally, we’ve found a restaurant that cares about good food and customer service! The food is excellent and the portions are VERY generous! The prices are very reasonable especially at lunchtime. The owner personally escorted my 91 yr old mother to our table in a comfortable and bright booth. Our server Jeremie was friendly and attentive. You can also bring your own wine. Was very impressed and we will definitely be returning!

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I ate lunch at your restaurant for the first time. The food was amazing, and the ability to bring your own wine was a plus. The female server did an excellent job. We will definitely be back! :-)

We had a late lunch here today and really enjoyed it, everything was great. The food was delicious and the portions were big. My husband is a picky eater and he loved the veal. There was no wait, the service was fast and everyone was extremely polite. We sat outside and there was soft relaxing music. The prices were fair, about 30 per person for a nice quality meal. Great place, we will definitely return.

My partner and I went for dinner and we both really enjoyed our first visit. Our server was brand new and he worked super hard! The service was friendly and efficient. We had shrimp and escargot as appetizers then a beef tartare and a veal cutlet for mains. It was 98 with taxes, which was reasonable for the quality. Of course, the BYOW is a big plus!
