There should be a warning that only one dish is served at a time - we spent over two hours waiting for our various dishes. While the first one did come relatively quickly, it was tartare, which I do not eat, so only my partner enjoyed the dish and I did not actually get any food until the second dish was served, over an hour after we had ordered. The remaining two dishes came about 30 minutes before closing time, so we could not fully enjoy them or order more.

We ate at Nyýo after walking past it numerous times….& we’re excited! But, the excitement was short lived. It’s shocking to me people are giving this place above 3*. Firstly- the positives? The staff were lovely & attentive- I couldn’t fault them.

My recommendation? Avoid avoid avoid! Bad food that is beautifully presented is...
