Sofia Papastamelos: Great foods and cocktails. Loved the mackerel and corn cakes! Beware of the price label because these are "small plates" which means you will need to order several (ie it's pricey).
Ha Diem: Definitely try the charred chicken hearts & foie gras custard with quail egg, snail vinaigrette and croissant toast! Soooo good.
Senator John Blutarski: This ubiquitous kale salad is specifically delicious.

Enryqwe Lopes: If you love the seafood, here is a must, definitely the best menu option is the lobster. Start with a shrimp boiled in beer 👌😋
