    Worst dining experience we had for a long time! We booked table (for 2) and were seated at a table with about 10 chairs against a wall in the basement, where two or three christmas parties were happening. After not accepting this table we were led to a better table upstairs, but then they completely rushed us through our Dinner. The whole experience cannot have lasted longer than 30 Minutes in total.

    We went for our Xmas dinner. The restaurant was packed and they didn’t even ask for my booking. The table was fine but we felt rushed all the time since the moment we sat down. The food was good but it didn’t change my life, good service overall. They put pressure on us to leave early because there as a queue of people outside. This is one of those restaurant that claim fame and want you to eat and go as quick as possible.
