This place specializes in serving Italian cuisine. While I did see that in some of the other reviews there were mentions of having Korean dishes offered there, I personally didn't manage to find any Korean options on the menu during my visit back in April of 2026. When I inquired at the restaurant, I was told that the establishment was chosen to as a set of an episode of a popular K-drama and as a reault, it served a one-off Korean meal menu. The food is truly exceptional. It's not only delicious but also surprisingly easy to eat and digest, feeling light and completely delightful. I absolutely love how the meals are so well-crafted, thoughtfully paired with complementary ingredients designed to enhance the natural flavors and elevate each dish. Not only is the food fantastic, but the atmosphere is really good too. It has that kind of classic, deli-cum-restaurant vibe, and I think that adds an extra something to the dining experience, giving the food a slight boost. However, the prices are on the slightly higher side, but I honestly think it's worth it. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ₩100,000+ Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Warning for vegans: The vegan menu is not entirely vegan. The person who created the vegan menu clearly doesn’t seem to know the difference between vegan and vegetarian diet. As a restaurant at a 5 star hotel, this is concerning for international travellers. I did my research before booking a stay at this hotel and I visited this restaurant for dinner after check in. There’s a page on the menu dedicated to vegans so I ordered the vegan steak expecting what I’ll eat would be plant-based. The menu states that mashed potatoe and grilled vegetables would be served alongside. First thing that came to the table was bread. The manager looked confused when I asked if the butter was vegan. He said, ‘No, it’s regular butter.’ He didn’t know vegan butter exists. If I didn’t have the habit of double checking what’s served to me, I would probably have eaten it without a second thought. He offered me olive oil to dip the bread instead but no balsamic vinegar. Next, is the main dish, which has a bigger problem. Mashed potato was missing. I asked the manager again why there is no mashed potato, he said because I’m vegan. The mashed potato is pre-made and contains diary products. I asked if I could just have steamed potatoes instead, he refused and said it would take a lot of time to make. (Is 10-15 minutes considered too long?) I told him the menu says there is mashed potato, if it can’t be provided then why it’s on the menu. He left and checked the menu. Looked super shocked again as if it was his first time reading it. After a while, he came back to me and asked if I’m okay to change the mashed potato to salad. At this point I’m already tired of dealing with a problem that’s not mine so I accepted the offer. Guess what, the salad was just some green leafs taken straight out of the fridge, no seasoning, no nothing. Super cold and tastes bland. Now I know why he thinks 10-15 mins for steaming a potato is a long time. About the food quality, all I can say is super average. Definitely not worth the price even if the vegan menu was really vegan. Price per person: ₩40,000–50,000 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3 Dietary restrictions: Not for Vegans

Watched the K-drama - “Bon Appetit, Your Majesty” and enjoyed it. And was reading about how the food styling was supervised by Chef Shin, executive chef of the Ambassador Seoul so decided to try out the restaurant for lunch. The atmosphere is classy and appeared in the final episode in the drama’s final scene. Tried the beef schnitzel, and the black chicken ginseng soup bansang (which was featured in the drama series) as well as the rice bowl with eel. The schnitzel and the rice bowl with eel which came with side dishes were something I enjoyed. The schnitzel was crunchy on the outside the beef has a nice bite. Eat with the sauces that came with it. The rice bowl eel is good with a slight pinch of wasabi that comes with it. Overall, an enjoyable experience. Price per person: ₩100,000+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
