The restaurant is nationally acclaimed in the media for its high-quality cuisine and generous portions, as well as for its elegant atmosphere and attentive service. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists seeking an unforgettable culinary experience. However, as the restaurant has now become a victim of its own success, reservations must be made well in advance (between 4 and 6 months), which can easily be done through their website.
