I found the food to be decent, but unfortunately, the price doesn’t quite match the quality or quantity on the plate. The environment was fine, though nothing particularly special. On a positive note, the service was lovely. The staff took a thoughtful approach, checking in with us regularly and gradually introducing additional options. Their attentiveness and care were appreciated.
