En General les hace falta mucha comunicación entre compañeros, hice una reservación para 6 personas a las 8 pm y cuando llegué, resultó que todas las mesas estaban ocupadas. Me sentaron en la barra donde a cada rato se tropezaban con mi silla y fue muy incómodo Hasta que me pasaron a una mesa para 2 personas Y si yo no les vuelvo a recordar que yo había hecho una reservación para 6 personas, ellos ni en cuenta Ya eran casi las 9 y la mesa que reservé aún estaba ocupada. Me cambiaron de mesa 4 VECES!!! En mi opinión fue muy mala experiencia ya que mi trabajo también es el servicio al cliente y sé valorar las buenas experiencias, Y no es justo que teniendo una reserva no se haya respetado causando así una mala experiencia.

I would not go back here. We made a reservation a few weeks before. It took over 90 minutes to get our entrees. Food was “ok” nothing special.

Wir mussten 45minuten auf die Vorspeise warten, dann weitere 30Minuten unser Essen. Zwischendurch hatten wir das Gefühl unsere Bestellung wurde vergessen. Die Portionen waren für den Preis deutlich zu klein. Als wir am Ende kein Trinkgeld gaben, war der Kellner dann leicht empört… Preis Leistung war leider nix … Ambiente war sehr schön.
