With its al fresco setting, white tablecloths, red tiled floors, and vining plants, the restaurant has a distinct European charm, perfect for romantic dinners or special occasions.

Elevated Ambience & Impeccable Service
The attention to detail here is unparalleled. From the moment you’re seated, a candle is lit at your table, setting the tone for a cozy, intimate experience. The service is the most professional we’ve encountered on the island. Staff members work in near-synchrony, subtly observing from a distance and appearing the moment they’re needed—whether to serve a drink, clear a table, or deliver your next course.
Tables are promptly cleared and reset within seconds, and food service is impressively efficient. Despite the high level of attentiveness, the atmosphere remains relaxed and warm.

Dessert Dreams Come True
Usually we skip dessert, but this meal was flawless from start to finish—we couldn’t resist.
- Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée (TTD $55): Silky, tangy, and hands-down the best crème brûlée we’ve ever had.
