    Unfortunately we arrived for our reservation to be told that there our booking had been cancelled by open table 5 days ago! I didn’t do that, so what’s going on?? Had to wait about 20 mins beyond our reservation time to get a table but once seated then everything went well. Service excellent,food good .

    too much noise, the two waiters who were in our area forgot about us all the time and were busy with other female guests. the steak was overcooked (should have been medium) the salmon was dry and boring. and the waiter rolled his eyes when we asked to buy bread and wine.

    The restuarant was very busy as expected during the holiday season but having to wait 20 minutes to get two cocktails wasn't a good experience. We were half way through out starters before the cocktails arrived. The food was good though,
