Prices are high and quality is not good, most od the time too noisy

The terrace offers a lovely view. However, be aware of the prices; a hamburger will set you back $30. Also, be careful when paying, as the 20% service charge is automatically selected even if you serve yourself. Furthermore, the place is n...

I loved this place! The food was packed with flavor, and everything we ordered came out just right. The service was great—friendly, fast, and low-key—but the vibe is what really sold it for me.
