    The food was good but did not deliver to the extent it should have for this price range. The seafood main with prawns, clams, mussels and rice offered very little for the £68 it cost. The tartare « special » was also rather disappointing and tiny for the price. Service was messy and staff did not seem to know what they were doing. We had to constantly ask them to top up our wine as they would simply not bother to do so otherwise. All in all a restaurant that presents itself as a fine dining experience but doesn’t deliver on it. Expected much better

    The live music added an extra touch of sophistication to the evening, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere. I had requested for a special table for the occasion, and I was pleased to see that the staff had gone above and beyond to accommodate my request. The five course taster menu was a nice. The accompanying drinks were delicious. While the overall service was good, there were a few areas that could use some improvement. There was a noticeable wait between the second starter and main course, and it would have been appreciated if this delay had been communicated to us. Additionally, the constant influx of dishes without clearing the table in between created a bit of a mess, especially as we were seated at a small table for two. I would go back for drinks

    You pay a premium for the location and view. The food was good but not special enough to justify the prices. E.g. Sirloin steak costs £120 with service, for a cut that is £30 from butcher and simply chargrilled. No dishes were especially memorable but all cooked well and tasty. Service was ok but had to call waiter over several times as he was busy elsewhere. Bill at the end was £400 for 4 people for which I’d expect Michelin level cuisine. Ambience is nice, but noisy when full of diners so not relaxing.

    The aubergine was delicious, the catch of the day, which was seabass even more delicious. The pineapple dessert was ok. The waiter was very professional but didn't know how to explains the dishes and dessert properly.

    Went for an early dinner on a lovely summer evening. The restaurant has a fantastic view from the 15th floor of art’otel. We had several dishes including the Portuguese rice which were all delicious. The service was friendly and polite making us feel very relaxed. Definitely a place to go for a treat.
