Absolutely amazing experience! Warmly welcomed with hot towels and drinks, the 30+ years of the chef’s expertise shone through every dish. The servers were attentive, friendly, and helpful with translations. Every bite was fantastic, and the farewell wave made us feel special. A true highlight of the trip! Huge thanks to the team and chef for their hospitality. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!
