    The place is amazing for a dinner night, but the live music is too intrusive, too loud, unless you’re there for the event, it doesn’t worth the noise in the balcony. Also, there are no dinner tables inside, so if you want to eat inside you have to arc your back to get to your plate safely, some arrangements can be made.
