a month agoDisappointing Service for a Fine Dining Experience The food was quite good and authentic, the service was far from satisfactory. For a fine dining establishment, the service felt indifferent and impersonal—much colder than what you’d expect even from smaller restaurants. The staff seemed to rush through every interaction as if fulfilling a routine rather than offering genuine hospitality. To our surprise, there was no “thank you” after we paid, nor did anyone acknowledge us when we left the restaurant. Moreover, the design of the set menu was poorly thought out. We ordered the set menu for each of us, but it wasn’t made clear that the dishes would be shared. Instead of each person receiving individual portions, all items were served on shared plates. While this was manageable for some dishes, it became problematic later in the meal. For example, there was only one bowl of rice to accompany the steak, and the dessert consisted of just one single scoop of ice cream to be shared between two people. This left us feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. Overall, while the food met expectations, the service and menu design fell short of what one would expect from a restaurant at this price point.

3 months agoThe ambiance here is fantastic! It’s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner date. And if you’re in the mood for an outing, they have a great selection of sushi on the menu. The food is cooked to perfection, and the staff is friendly. However, they could improve their attention to detail when serving customers. Overall, I highly recommend this place when you’re in Malta.

a month agoAte here twice while visiting Valletta. Both times the food was excellent. The service on the second visit was very slow which was strange as we were the only ones dining at the time. That aside the food lived up to expectations. Super fresh, tasty and well prepared.

2 months agoThe interior is very cool,stylish designed. soothing chillout background music, friendly staff, a very well stocked bar and of course an extremely good kitchen bringing out servings presented creatively. Their long open kitchen where all the movements can be observed, tell their own stories of the quality served. A must in Malta.

5 months agoNo words to describe the experience we had at this restaurant. We made a reservation here for my birthday dinner and I was not disappointed at all. We tried a bit of everything because we couldn’t get enough of the amazing flavors. The drinks were exceptional, the food as well and the service impeccable. Would definitely come back here if we are ever in Malta again. Couldn’t have picked a better restaurant for my birthday dinner. 10/10, thank you
