• Chrisoscope (2010) “Qu’elle soit américaine, française, argentine ou Wagyu, la viande est bonne, cuite comme il se doit.”
• Barbra Austin via Girls’ Guide to Paris (2010) “It’s a concept restaurant, really, and the concept is simple: high-quality aged beef from good sources around the world…”
• Emmanuel Rubin – Le Figaro (2009) “Une petite revanche carnassière sur double étage que ce steak-house des beaux quartiers…”
