Probably the best meal I've had in this city . Beef carpaccio was amazing and hits every tastebud. Sea bass tartare was also crack. Expensive but 100% worth it

May be the best high-end seafood place (sea bream ????????); but even the steak is delicious ???? Elegant decoration; great service. A bit on the expensive side but worth it ❤️

Eden Ess

The bartender is fantastic! She knows her cocktails and her customer service is outstanding. What makes this even better is everything you eat is visually appealing and the taste matches.

Everything seafood in this place is delicious.. The salt crusted sea bass is a must.. Paella was really good as well

The monkfish was very good, but the accompaniments and appetizers were pretty bland. Overall, underwhelming. "Instagram-able" presentation but impractical.

Food and drink are equally excellent. The sujuk flatbread and potato cubes are ultimate snacking material. They make a mean (and giant) vesper, too. Rest in peace Locke Ober, long live Yvonne's. - Hal Mackins
