" Had a memorable dining experience at Le DeSales! The sushi options were delightful and very fresh. I particularly enjoyed the hamachi, which was delicious. The cocktails were refreshing, but I found the service slightly slow at times on a busy Friday evening. Overall, I would absolutely return for the great ambiance and food. " (*Curated Review*)
