    Always nice and friendly service, new menu was a pleasant surprise, and apparently, a new chef in the house (restaurant) makes a great difference, we liked it a lot!! See you soon!

    It was empty and it took over 1 hour to receive our food. Food was just ok and no mention of why there was such a time delay.

    The food and menu are okay for the place, the ordinary. The waitress was friendly, but was really eager to sell drinks. One of us just arrived, with the jacket still on, what he wanted to drink?

    Food is not very special and seems prefab (not freshly made or baked). Little overpriced for the quality

    Good food, I am happy with discount but maybe not for full price. Ambience good for drink more than serious dinner.

    All food was very tasteful. We did not really understand the Mediterranean salad though. It would have been nice if it was more than just spring roll and salad. I expect more vegetables for a salad like that.

    The starters (Burrata & Carpaccio) were quite good. But the main courses were disappointing. Service was quick.

    Very slow service. Only 1 waitress for the whole place who takes orders, takes money and prepares drinks. The medium-well steak was undercooked and even after being cooked longer, was still bleeding. The chef did not know if the sauce contained dairy as it was prepared by someone else. Disappointing.

    We had -30% with the fork. It was really nice, the satay chicken is very yummy. But we were a little disappointed about the hamburger.

    The service was quick and friendly. My friends and I had chicken kababs with sauce, fries and salad-the food tasted decent and was a good portion. A nice spot for a catch lunch with a friend.
