Amazing visual and culinary experience from interior decoration to chef's specialists and desserts with surprising character. The Sushi chef stationed like a DJ. and the cocktail bar swim in the Chelsea lounge atmosphere. The restaurant personals are discrete and agreeable.

Noisy sometimes by the lounge music. Un-wellcom reception desk. Chaotic communication with waiters.
