I was reading a book at the park where the restaurant is located, oblivious to its existence I found it coincidentally. I had the whole place to myself, the music was lovely and the breeze was just right. Starters were perfection. I had the Carpaccio and veal sweetbreads accompanied with not too pricy but oh so wonderful red wine. The ribeye steak was made to perfection as per my request. Now the waitresses, elegant, helpful and charming. Never hovering or overstepping, the right amount of service and smile, definitely coming back and highly recommended.
We had a great dinner with friends😃 The place is walking the fine line between a bar and a restaurant. The level of the food was good, especially the starters that were very tasty and creative. The staff is very friendly. we did not have a reservation,but the hostess and owner worked hard to get us a table. Great cocktails!
Excellent food. Excellent service. Great location. Great atmosphere. The friendly staff were knowledgeable of the menu, hospitable, and spoke English and Hebrew. Special thanks to our waiter, Yuval, and the floor manager, Nadav, for making our evening one to remember. Not to mention the location! Accessible with indoor/outdoor seating. Will dine here again.
Nice modern interior- airy and nice views of green over the park. Interior nice spaced out tables with views to the outside. Nice cocktails- interactive bartender. Pani puri- asado was good- made better by the aubergine purée underneath and the tomato consommé. The chicken shawarma was good- nice succulent piece of thigh meat cooked perfectly. The beef ribs was ok- there was a lot of fat which was inedible. Service was attentive. So far one of the best places in Jerusalem to eat.
The not kosher restaurant is located at the great area - Independence park - close to the city center and other important sites of Jerusalem. Atmosphere is not very warm or cozy. Service is friendly but not professional. Homemade pasta dish with mushrooms was inedible (was returned and wasn’t included in the bill), cheeseburger was surprisingly good but French fries had taste of low quality oil. Desert looks promising but was also disappointing (low quality ingredients). Pricey drinks and cocktails. Below expectations.
