Talking about the place, the restaurant has a modern and lux decor, on the other side the new Lounge area will be launched very soon.

The black cod was nicely roasted with crispy skin, slick, juicy smooth thick meat, it was sooo delicious already by itself, the addition of veggies and red wine sauce added more playful and interesting flavors. Totally one of the best dish here.

Steak Frites (240g) IDR 350k

Such a unique and tasty combination.

NY Cheese Cake IDR 118k
Such a pretty and delightful plate of cheese cake. The NY cheese cake has a very rich taste and light texture, it was served with sweet and sour fresh strawberry compote resulting a very balanced dessert.
