I remember this location when it was a bank, and it was curious to see the bar underneath the skylight, where the main cashiers used to be. So the setting is rather stylish, and not a little noisy, although the ambience is quite nice with soft lights and lots of intimate couples chatting away. However, I was not spectacularly impressed by the dinner I had, nor by the service which was rather haphazard. The dishes I had seemed rather formulaic and contrived and did not wow me as much as I had expected. The salmon could have be done by any cook and the poulet was a little stringy. But maybe it was just that evening and I really feel that the place can do much better, so I will try this place again later in autumn.
