    Beautiful ambience, food is fine but portions are really small though. Time management and service overall was bad (food arrived 10 min before we had to leave for our performance, though we’ve advised how much time we had before ordering, a few dishes for our company of 7 have been forgotten all together.

    Seemed chaotic and the service was not great, even though it was not that busy. Food was good but not always great value.
