Busy night. Party of 5 given a crap table jammed in next to a column. Couldn’t hear the conversation due to bad acoustics and noise level.
Ok food, expensive for what you got. Schnitzel was dry, gravy in a little cup had a skin on it when served. Guests pasta dish was swimming in cream sauce.
Service was spotty. The hostess was lovely, but we had to ask for our waiter several times, he seemed to disappear for what felt like hours. He forgot one guest’s cocktail but then courses came out in a rush. His timing was really off. I would not go back.

For what they charge our dinners were not worth it. The beef ribs were very dry. Dinner was fine but nothing that we’d plan to bring guests there.

Food was high-quality as was the service. Prefix menu, great value. When we didn’t finish our wine, they actually corked it and bagged it and sealed it for us to travel home with legally. What a nice touch.
