    The food was below average. We had the tasting menu and we came with very high expectations. The pasta wasn't properly cooked, and the same tomato sauce used in more than 1 dish. The supposedly grilled octopus, was clearly boiled and then somehow lightly grilled. The overall service was average, except the table service was appalling. However, the interior design and the atmosphere was great, and I believe that an improvement on the food can match the atmosphere experience.

    Dear Riccardo, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback. We endeavour on a daily basis in providing excellent drinking and dining experiences to our guests, but clearly on this occasion we have failed to do so. I will be reaching out to you to discuss your feedback further. Kind regards, Daf

    Food was good but bit overpriced and service wasn’t that great. I’d give it a 7/10

    Absolutely amazing experience. Everything was top notch: the food, the service, the setting. Don’t come here expecting to save money but value for money absolutely worth it for a special night out. Wouldn’t have a single thing to complain about.
