A very top quality restaurant tucked away in a side street in the centre of Utrecht. The serving staff were extremely attentive and also knowledgeable about the food and wine that they served. Altogether a lovely experience!

Incredibly good restaurant which we regret not having found before, we ran into it almost by accident while cycling, and decided to try it out. The flavors of each dish were exquisitely put together, and unlike anything we had had before. They also have some very good wine options for pairing, all in all quite a complete culinary experience. We expect to return regularly in the future.

The service by Guiseppi was amazing. He explained every course in detail (and in English). He was very accommodating and made us feel really special. The food was also really good. We had the vegetarian 5 course meal and we were surprised as to how full we were afterwards. The pacing of the courses is also really good, giving us time to enjoy the relaxed ambience, the wine and the food.

Quality of food was good but many little things went ‘wrong’: the waiter kept forgetting things, forgot to bring a glass of wine, the little pots/appetizer were empty when served, the 30% reduction had not been applied etc.. But the kindness/smile and the quality of food compensated. It’s not the cutest street of Utrecht and I looked out over a big container, but inside it was cozy enough.

Food was great, especially the flat iron steak, absolutely fantastic. The hosts and hostesses were all very friendly and helpful. However, the whole dining experience was rather ruined by the atmosphere. No serene music was present and instead our fine dining experience was accompanied by extremely loud noises. We weren’t able to truly enjoy our meal, the noises gave us a headache, and even struggled to have conversations as we couldn’t hear each other properly (yes it was very loud).
