The staff were great but a little busy and seemed not enough staff for the night. Food was a little pricey for the taste. I ordered a pasta cheese wheel dish and barely saw any of the cheese wheel preparation . When it arrived at the table ur was not cooked al dente and was barely warm.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We have shared your comments regarding the value and cheese wheel with our team.
