Customer Reviews
Although the food was amazing and atmosphere was also really good I was chased out my the waitress serving me because she had a booking. This was really unpleasant I was still looking to relax continue working and spend more on dessert...oh well next time I know not to come to this location if this is how guests are treated.
Shocking service. Asked for a table of four. 3 waiters said okay and turned their backs towards my family and I and continued talking to each other. Restaurant was empty so it was not due to them being busy. We went somewhere else
