Small restaurant with a difference:  very strict house rules regarding the provision of water of all imaginable variety - quite a good laugh if you get the gist.  We took the dinner menu and chose our steak - and we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of food being served.  Welcome white wine was refreshing,  New Zealand Sauvignon blanc - sweeter than normal but perfect to quench the thirst in the hot weather.  Small bites for starter - all quite well executed and we can see the chef put in

Small restaurant with a difference:  very strict house rules regarding the provision of water of all imaginable variety - quite a good laugh if you get the gist.  We took the dinner menu and chose our steak - and we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of food being served.  Welcome white wine was refreshing,  New Zealand Sauvignon blanc - sweeter than normal but perfect to quench the thirst in the hot weather.  Small bites for starter - all quite well executed and we can see the chef put in a lot of thoughts and effort into this.  Memorable ones among the barrage of starters include the soup which was unusually sweet in taste and the airfreighted Spanish bread that goes with it,  and on the downside was one cold starter with cured beef that was rather tough to chew and not much taste.   The main course was the highlight: we ordered onglet and bavette steak cooked medium-rare, both came with mash potatoes and other condiments, steak itself had nicely charred outside and satisfyingly pink/red interior, texture was rather similar with the bavette a tad more sinewy,  but with the meat rather on the cold side, we guessed it might have been cooked sous-vide first and then quickly grilled to char the exterior before serving en mass - the restaurant has two sittings with the change over around 8pm, so pretty much every table was served more or less around the same time, so if you arrive late, the meal can be quite rushed, but if you arrive early, it can be quite a leisurely pace.   Set dinner finished with desserts that's very good quality.
