    Overall, the food, ambience, and staff were very friendly. There is only a tiny issue in communication between the kitchen and the staff:” They should have a brief description before the service to know what's on the menu.” to avoid coming to the table several times and telling the customer that it's not on the menu. Food: My main course was the meat ( bistec); I ordered MR, but the beef was chewing, and I couldn't finish it.

    Looked up the place on tik tok. Thought it would be a fun brunch. It was a avg restaurant vibe. No fun music playing or live music. Maybe booked the wrong time around 3:30. Don’t know but it was dead. The nachos had cheese that was watered down and looked like soup. Strange. So didn’t bother to order anything else. Coke in a bottle was flat! The waiter was kind and replaced them which turned out fine but nachos def a No on that menu. My friend ordered tacos and hers seemed good. For the price of a drink and nachos I could have had a really nice dish somewhere. Disappointing.

    My booking on OpenTable was for two, when I arrived at the restaurant, they said it was a booking for 5, in a rather accusatory tone. The table we were eventually given was a table for four right by the door. I checked my booking email - which confirmed I only booked a table for two. Overall the dining experience here was disappointing. Long wait times for everything except the bill. The food and drinks were delicious but the waiting around for everything ruined the experience.

    The food was great. The service was little bit slow. The place was very noisy and the music was very loud. We had difficulty hearing each other while talking.

    Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. The enchilada dish, for which the only option was vegan, had some alternative vegan cheese which was frankly disgusting. The Ragu also tasted quite off. The passionfruit cheesecake, while not bad, tasted as if it was recently defrosted. Service was quite poor as it took over five minutes to get a spoon for the cake. Would not recommend this one sadly.

    Waitstaff was mainly rude, rarely around. Forgot orders. Had to get up to find someone to ask for our bill bc we would’ve ordered more but they never came back even with all drinks and plates empty. Cute place tho. Tourist trap for sure

    I love this place but this time wasn’t great, ordered drinks which took ages then to be told they had no rose or white Prosecco. Then ordered a normal rose then to be told after another 10minutes they didn’t have that either. Problem with supplier!!!!! They then said what else would you like, I said you tell me what you have and I will choose. We then got a bottle of white which they said would be on the house for all of the hassle. End of the night got the bill and had been charged for the Prosecco we never got and the bottle of wine!!!! Communication clearly not there within the team and it just made the night exhausting rather than relaxing. I would recommend to a friend and just hope they sort things out as it’s a great venue for after work drinks and dinner

    Uninspiring. Main course was OK tasting, side dish was dry, had clearly been cooked the day before and tasted of nothing making its price incredibly high. The atmorsphere is non descript soulless. Would recomment not going there at all during week ends. I guess it gets better lunchtime weekdays. Overall, would avoid, totally unnecessary and uninteresting.
