    The restaurant was not open at booked hour. Disappointing that reservations were open nonetheless and we did not get notified.

    The starter and main food was good. The wrong drinks were bought out twice and the wrong desserts. In the end we received one dessert of 3 and had to cancel the other 2. The service seemed fraught and disorganised. I would return as the good wad good but the service needs to improve and be more customer-centric.
