Comments
The flavours were wonderful and the food tasted so fresh. The portion size was excellent: all too often the vegetarian risotto is the size of a starter, but here it was pretty big.
We had one Prix Fixe meal and one a la carte and they were equally good
The fish was cooked to perfection, especially with the fresh greens served on top. It is rare to find a spot that pays such close attention to both the flavors and the presentation. We will definitely be back.
