One good thing is the prompt response when doing reservations but everything else is terrible. I do not recommend this place! The service was poor, the food portions were way too small, the communication with the staff was poor as well. I was being served by a server that all of the sudden disappeared and if I wouldn’t have known that there are two servings for dinner I wouldn’t have been served the second round of steak and frites. I had to ask and look for it with another server. I asked for a medium cooked steak and when they brought the second round of steak it was well done almost burned and literally the server gave me only 3 and a half pieces of steak that it was not close to the original portion that was severed before and on top of that the steak had not the term I asked for.
