If you are a meat eater the menu is very restricted as they specialise in Fish. My guests who had the fish said it was delicious. A tremendous choice to be had. My entrecote steak was slightly tough, but the sauce and the gnocchi were excellent. The deserts are the best part. The chocolate mousse is not to be missed.

I've been here a couple of times and i was really satisfied. Fresh fish, research of ingredients with a full Mediterranean approach, good wines, an informal but careful service.

The food is excellent, fresh and good made. One of the best places which served lobsters (frankly, half lobster, this is the meal), but it done good. Place is rather big, however very crowded, so you should reserve place for the evening. Also, service is rather slow, so be prepared to spend at least two hours there. Another problem is... More

Our friends from the U.S. who visited Israel invited us for dinner at this restaurant. We have not heard of the place before and were very pleased to discover the site. Excellent food, a selection of drinks and a great atmosphere. In addition they have valet parking. Restaurant highly recommended.

I was there with friends from Belgium and Spain. The food was excellent. The service, including the parking service was of the highest class. The single fallback is the high price. Also, the menu has some build in 'traps' such as the fish price which is not mentioned "as it changes dally" and this might significantly increase the meal cost.

The best seafood restaurant in the city, hands down. Great service, amazing food (try the crab risotto), and lively atmosphere.

We booked a table at this restaurant on a busy friday night. Still, the service was very personal and absolutely impeccable. Our waiter suggested a wine that tasted like it was created especially for our main courses. By the way, the starter with the thin avocado bubble and yellow fin tuna carpaccio is probably the best dish I ever had.... More
