MOTÍF

The food, staff, and atmosphere here are all amazing! My friend and I shared several dishes, which gave us the chance to try different flavors. I highly recommend the tuna tartare – 10/10. It was fresh, light, and perfectly balanced. The duck salad was also a 10/10 – refreshing, yet with a nice hint of spice. We also tried the Nasu Miso (eggplant). I would rate it 7/10, as there was quite a lot of sauce, so it felt like you were mostly tasting the sauce rather than the eggplant itself. The sauce didn’t fully impress me, but of course, that comes down to personal preference. What I loved most was that after dinner I didn’t feel overly full or heavy – the food was light, yet satisfying. Our table was served by Gytis, who was very friendly and professional. He took the time to explain the wines and dishes in detail and helped us choose. Thank you! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a dinner with friends or a romantic date. I’ll definitely be coming back 🤍

Late-night visit on Friday (~23:00). There was live music and a great atmosphere. The security guard looked a bit tough for the setting but was polite; his jokes felt a touch casual for a premium venue. The manager was excellent—seated me right away and confirmed the kitchen was still open. I ordered the schnitzel (€20, served without sides) with fries (€6), plus a non-alcoholic beer and a latte. The schnitzel was tasty—solid 8/10—and the red caviar on top was a pleasant surprise. Biggest standout: Riedel glassware used for beer and even coffee—rare and a big plus. The crowd is glamorous and upscale; expect a high-end social vibe. Small suggestion: make it clearer that sides are separate. Overall, a strong late-night experience. I’ll gladly return.

Where Fine Dining Meets Ambience! In the evening, we experienced outstanding Japanese cuisine, prepared with great finesse and authentic flavors. The restaurant’s ambiance was enhanced by a live DJ and a beautifully designed interior, creating the perfect setting. Both the food and the wine were exceptional. For anyone who appreciates Japanese gastronomy, this venue is a must. Rohini ♥️

An excellent selection of ingredients, transformed into tasty and refined dishes, put this restaurant at the top, a very good level one. Fusion cuisine, elegant atmosphere and precise service will cuddle you in the tasting. Recommended 😉

We only came for dessert, and the Tiramisu was delightful. We also were lucky to be there during a live show which was quite entertaining. The ambiance is very modern, with a DJ playing electronic music.

Fancy place! I enjoyed Wagyu steak, medium rare. It was very juicy. On the side, baby romaine salad and French fries exceeded my expectations, much recommend. Cocktail - whisky sour, good as always. Atmosphere: only 3/5. The place is stuffed with tables. They are so close to each other that sometimes it's hard to hear your thoughts.

Unfortunately, a very disappointing experience. The service was poor from the start. The waitresses felt completely disengaged and indifferent, as if every interaction was a favor rather than their job. There was no sense of hospitality at all — I didn’t feel welcome, valued, or comfortable, and honestly just wanted to leave as soon as possible. The steak was a disaster. No one asked about the desired doneness — it was chosen for me. The first steak arrived badly overcooked, bitter, and basically charcoal. It was sent back, only to be replaced with a steak that was extremely tough and undercooked. In the end, the steak was removed from the menu altogether, which says a lot. The atmosphere was also awkward. A large restaurant with only three couples on a Saturday evening, loud music, and an overall empty, uncomfortable vibe. It was obvious the place lacks popularity — and after this visit, it’s easy to understand why. Definitely not an experience I would recommend.
