First, the place is really nice. A neat, clean, well designed diner. We were greeted very well at the door and the security escorted us towards the entrance. We were given choices of seating. The seating is comfortable. They have a big menu with a wide variety. I told them I have allergy to dairy and they gave me a manual that describes the allergens in every single item on the menu. Very impressive! I asked for the steak without butter and they delivered. The service is fast, professional, and friendly. Definitely going back again.

Some of the best steak I've had, ever. Quite pricey, even for abidjan standards, but this is a great place to go as a treat to yourself every now and then

Pleasing experience eating there. There is "finesse" in their cuisine and their cocktail are very good. Besides, they opened the restaurant earlier because of us (we didn't know the opening time)
