The dishes are mostly uncommon continental cuisine, with a focus on light seasoning that highlights the original flavors of the ingredients. Some dishes, such as the shiso squid risotto and grilled half chicken, have stronger flavors and are worth trying.

The comments below do not consider price; most dishes lean towards milder flavors, showcasing the original taste of the ingredients and offering many uncommon European dishes.
Today, my supervisor brought us to this restaurant (the supervisor wanted to eat roasted chicken, and we casually joined for a meal and chat 😅). Personally, I think it's a good restaurant, but if I had to pay myself, I would reconsider… (Each dish is about 50% above the expected price, plus a 10% service fee) It’s a bit pricey for small office workers… (Thanks to my supervisor, and I admire my supervisor… 🥺)
I don’t understand continental food😢
Goose gizzards taste more elastic than chicken gizzards, and have a bit more offal flavor. It's okay to eat them with the bitterness of cabbage, but the seasoning is like eating saltwater chicken, a Taiwanese taste...
The donkey fish is just fried at home. The fish itself is not seasoned, and I can’t remember the taste of the sauce it goes with.
The crust of the pizza tastes like soda crackers, but the crust is less elastic; the whole slice is bland, except for the ham and red sauce in the middle, which has a stronger flavor, and it feels like the sauce has only been lightly brushed once
It’s a lot like eating in a vegetarian or vegetarian restaurant. The taste of each dish is a little less, bland, not memorable, and it doesn’t match my taste😭
