Trusted reviews
- Food Snob (2009) “On the one hand, I was pretty sure I had eaten some of the most brilliant food of my life. On the other, I was not sure how much I had enjoyed it.”
- Julot (2008) “…reserved to the happy few. Clearly, the restaurant is not even interested in making you the meal of your life. Not even a very special party. They’re focused on an aristocratic model of almost daily ‘you can’t afford it if you have to ask about the price’ food model.”
