The staff is very, very friendly, and the atmosphere is very welcoming.
I tried the tartare with omelet from the breakfast menu – it was very tasty. I often order tartare, it's very decent here.
Lemonades are delicious with mashed potatoes, not syrups, and not too sweet.
And, probably, the main feature of the establishment is beautiful dishes.
The interior is also pleasant, with large, beautiful paintings.
The hood works well, despite the open kitchen, the clothes didn't smell like food afterwards, as sometimes happens in establishments.
The only thing that bothered me was that they offered to take bread (tartine) with the dishes, it was not listed on the menu, she clarified that 2 pieces cost 7 rubles. This is a new record.😁💰
The first and probably the last trip to this institution.
Positive:
- Beautiful and stylish interior
- Nice and helpful waiter
- It's been delicious for a long time for an establishment in a residential area
- Excellent gin and tonic. My compliments.
Cons:
- Noise. The slightly loud music seems to be resonating and bouncing off the concrete walls. It is very uncomfortable to sit in a noisy meat grinder. It's hard to hear the other person.
- Strong kitchen smell. The popular idea of making an open kitchen with non-working or poorly functioning ventilation is a bad idea. After the visit, all the clothes smelled like after the cafeteria.
- The ingredients of the dishes on the menu are described incorrectly. For example, there is not a word about truffle in the French meat menu, but there is a lot of truffle oil under the layer of parmesan. There was a similar story with unexpected ingredients in the dishes of other people in our company. If you are allergic, be sure to check the presence of your allergens in the dishes.
- Speaking of truffles and poor ventilation, the smell of truffles is in the air and creates competition for table flavors.
- By the way, about the unreliability of ingredients in the menu. The menu doesn't say a word about the hair in the dish. I've heard about a similar problem at table meetings. To the credit of the administrator, I note that the solution to this awkwardness was professional.
- Tables on three pillars are inconvenient. Either you or your interlocutor is sitting opposite with uncomfortable legs.
- The price. At first glance, the price tag is not high, which is good for an establishment in a residential area to brighten up a weekday evening. But considering the serving size, the price can be considered high. Similar dishes in other establishments in Minsk and at a higher level have either the same price or only 5 rubles higher, with a larger portion by 20-30%. I don't think it was haute cuisine.
- There are a lot of waiters, but there are none when needed.
- Waiting for drinks is long. It's doubtful to wait 10 minutes for just a coke/fanta, with the waiters standing frivolously at the entrance.
I read a lot of good reviews, apparently right after the establishment opened.
I wish the guys to return to their original level and success.
We were at the opening with my husband. I really liked the place) The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was beyond praise. The interior of the establishment deserves special mention – everything is thought out to the smallest detail. In general, the place is very nice and I will be happy to come back here. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates high-quality service and excellent cuisine!
