  Hallelujah! One of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Organic, local ingredients, creative menu, beautiful chic interiors, professional and absolutely unpretentious personnel and delightfully artistic presentation. Every dish was DIVINE. Tasting menu coupled with tailored cocktails : some of the best cocktails I’ve had in my life (and I am a Seattle food snob). A rare gem. I HIGHLY recommend.

  This restaurant has lovely decor, a chef who loves cooking, wonderful food and a friendly staff. It offers lunch, before theater smaller suppers, and a full dinner in which the courses just keep coming. Each course is beautifully presented, with a variety of delicious flavors, from the appetizers to the desserts. The staff helpfully explain the ingredients and their origin. The menu is vegan, but do not hesitate if you are not a vegetarian. You will come away very satisfied!

  I've been twice now, once for cocktails and once for the set-dinner. overall verdict: I'd be back for drinks but not for food. what I liked: - decor....the place is super cute, with great attention to detail and very tasteful design, nice lighting etc. - staff are nice and take their time to explain the menu and ingredients - innovative/creative cooking, great presentation. (one of the dishes I did like was a white-beetroot hummus) - the concept: all ingredients are locally sourced, which is pretty cool what I didn't like: - food: bottom line is that the food was overpriced and while they tried to make really innovative dishes it just wasn't to my taste. One of the starters was literally a parsnip cut in a few pieces wtih some shiitake on-top. For mains I got an egg which was raw (parts were cold) and I still regret not sending it back. When you serve a diced parsnip as a starter and raw egg as a main it just doesnt feel like your getting much for your 40 EUR menu. - set menu: I prefer having the option to choose. - wine: pricey (40 EUR per bottle) and just not very good. some people on our table had the wine-pairing menu and they were also not impressed.

  I have not yet eaten dinner at this spot, but the lunch knocked both my and my partner's socks off. We will be sure to go back for dinner soon. I find it odd that other reviews mention "nothing special" about this gem because I can't think of any better way to describe it. The interior is beautiful, well maintained, and lends the feeling that you're trapped somewhere in between an apothecary and a restaurant, wedged into a fold in the forest. While portions were not monstrous, I didn't expect to be filled to the gills and I left satiated without being stuffed. I definitely feel that the money spent was well worth the food we received, and the staff were beyond friendly. Not only did they succinctly and efficiently explain the dishes but they also asked how everything tasted, and then the chef came around afterwards to ask what we liked and didn't like. We look forward to enjoying an evening here in the future, and are happy to have it around the corner from our house!

  Wonderful place! Food, drinks, and interior! I had a dinner over here with a friend. This restaurant focus on vegetables and fine dining. The chef use lot of techniques who bring the food a whole different way as you can ever expect. We both took the full experience and we were very satisfied. I can say, it was a bomb. I say 'a restaurant' because there is an evolution from 'a cocktail bar' with bites to a proper restaurant with cocktail pairing! We had a nice chat with the team and even the chef visited us at the table. He only uses local and organic products! Everything is made from scratch. Their vision is absolutely ethical. Keep on going!
