    It’s a very busy place, which unfortunately reflects on the quality of the service and the food itself. The T-bone we ordered was okay, but nothing special. When I order a steak medium-rare, I expect it to arrive at the appropriate level of doneness, not on a sizzling hot plate that keeps cooking it. I’d much rather have a properly cooked steak than a 'sizzle show' with mediocre meat. Service was quick, but not particularly friendly.

    The food came out quickly and was decent, but unfortunately it felt rushed, like a fast-food restaurant. They were probably too busy; the staff cleared the table faster than a typical Chinese restaurant. It was a very hurried family dinner.

    The food was delicious, and the steak was cooked perfectly! However, the portion sizes for side dishes like the fries and baked potato were small. The staff was fine, and we did have to call for a waiter several times. The music created a nice atmosphere, but we were seated right next to the entrance despite requesting a quieter spot, so there were people constantly coming in and out and waiters standing right beside the table.

    I loved the food, it was very good, the waiters were very friendly and the service was excellent! The only thing I asked for was a table by the window, and my reservation was accepted to sit by the window, but they didn't. They gave me a table in the hallway!

    Booked the Table for 7 people, two weeks prior to the date, on the day i had a message to confirm the booking that had been reserved for me, i confirmed and arrived for our table at 20:00 hrs on the day, table had been given to another party and my name on the list had been crossed out, waited 20 minutes outside for the restaurant to accommodate us for a meal that we had pre-booked, food as always was good with a nice atmosphere, but let down by the booking system.

    Service was good, no complaining about that. Seats (leather sofa) was a little bit dirty, felt like no cleaning for a long time, sticky surface. Quite loud place when all the customers are talking at the same time. Let see if the other part of the restaurant is as loud (newer section of the restaurant). Thank you very much of the good food.

    We know this Restaurant more than 20 years and Food was more than OK but now quality and taste of Food / Meat changed in a negative way … not so good anymore as it was ; Mayer there is a new owner The Ambience of the Restaurant also changed not for the better and visiting guests too.
