The food was really good. The service was fast and amazing. The quantity was decent. I recommend everyone to come to this restaurant. The only downsides were having to go down a lot of stairs to get to the washroom. Overall it was really good...

A beautiful restaurant with rustic charm and breathtaking views. The food is good and they happily dish out more if you feel like you could have another serving. Everything is pretty good, but the washrooms could have been maintained better (at least the men's ones). I can't end this review without raving about the design of this building a bit more: at a glance, the inside of the building might look like they stopped construction after the pillars, floors and some walls had been built, but the masterful interior design brings the whole place together with lovely art pieces, great materials, and bright flashes of color. This really is one of the most memorable buildings I've been to in a while
