Lot of attention to detail in all courses. Wine is selected for every dish individually. Nice atmosphere with very warm service. Service was a little bit too fast. Portions relatively small but still ok for the great compositions of tastes and textures

Awesome food and great service. The food was exciting and delicious with bold flavours in every course. The service was excellent and efficient, we ate a huge 10 plate meal in just over 2 hours. Would thoroughly recommend if you are open minded and looking for some exciting tastes you won't find anywhere else.

3.5* It's a tough biz this one. Everything has to be right. The more effort you make with the ingredients and staff to prep great visuals to match, the more you have to charge. And then people's expectations rise to levels tough to meet. And down the road is a line a mile long, for a place that makes currywurst.
There's much to like here. Lots of free courses, that contribute well to the experience. A team that is as friendly as a Labrador in a preschool, although a touch short of pro level. At this level, for example, you don't ask "who's having the..". The ingredients are well sourced and handled. Most of the flavours are well matched.
But not all flavours work. Sardines and passionfruit, don't waltz well with wonderful traditional Korean accents and textures. Foam requires restraint, and it's used here too liberally, masking an untidy presentation and overwhelming the core ingredients. The mackerel portion was way too small for a main, and the wonderful Korean accompaniments suited a larger piece of protein. Granita is also a sometimes food. Here, they seem to see it as a French restaurant sees butter. They may want you to order 7 courses, but those chairs are definitely 3 course wonders. The cheese course is excellent, and the wine list very good.

The authentic fusion kitchen makes it a really unique and lovely experience. The innovative cuisine and the phenomenal wine paring are well orchestrated. Very nice atmosphere and creative starters and petit fours. We spent a great evening there and especially enjoyed the chats with the attentive staff! Will definitely come back for the experience.

Excellent service and excellent food. When I had trouble booking online, Bini the owner was very fast in replying by email and helped me with reservation. The staff was very friendly and attentive to us, the dishes were served fast and tasted excellent. We also asked for a bottle of wine to go with our different dishes and got an excellent recommendation that fitted well with all vegetarian, seafood and beef dishes. I highly recommend a visit.

Fine dining experience with great authentic Korean food. Enriched with Spanish tapas and flavors. Really loved the scallops and the fish. Very nice atmosphere and creative starters and petit fours. Will definitely come back for the experience.

I really wanted more and I had higher expectations.

The food is definitely above average and the kitchen runs well. Dishes are on the smaller side, but reasonable. The taste is there and presentation is solid. The price range is fair although more towards fine dining. I appreciate that someone is moving Korean food towards fine dining.

Some of my issues weren't directly in control of the restaurant, but sitting next to and very close to a loud group isn't the right setting for a romantic dinner. Maybe this is not the place to enjoy one?

The last annoying part was being asked if I wanted to leave a tip while paying by card, don't do that!

I wish I had enjoyed it more, I really wanted to...
