"Beautiful cozy restaurant with excellent cuisine and great service. We went for a full tasting menu and weren't disappointed although portion sizes could be a bit bigger. Also it felt like waiting tome between dishes could be lower. The dessert was really creative and triggered all our taste buds"

"We had the 4-course option with the chosen wine pairing and had a fantastic experience. We also added the cheese course and some extra drinks at the start. The staff were very informative and extremely friendly. For what was a fine dining experience, it was not at all pretentious and would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Bordeaux."

"This was a wonderful dining experience. Everything from the atmosphere to the food and the service was fantastic. Every single dish was delicious and unique. The wine pairings were perfect. Both of our servers were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the food and wine. I wish we had gone here earlier during our trip so that we could have eaten here twice."

"Came here on a Tuesday evening after making a reservation online for 8:15. They aptly call it a cozy restaurant because the tables were already 75% full in spite of opening at 8pm and new arrivals had to squeeze in sideways to get to their seat. The tables nearby had many couples, 1 singleton, groups of friends, even a dog (first time seeing this while in Bordeaux). The service is 100%+ positivity and energy and joy. Their excitement and authentic desire to make your evening special is palpable. I was impressed at their speed of speech in both French and English. They offer a 4 or 6-dish set. We chose the 4. The entrees were okay. The plat and dessert were divine. The restaurant feels like a happening place to be. It is definitely fun to sit near the wall and people watch. Thank you for a fun night!"

"Not to be missed. The 4 or 6 prix fixe dinner is super. We opted to not have the wine pairing but rather fewer glasses of wine recommended by the wait staff. It is Bordeaux, there is no bad wine."
