    There was a great experience. The food was tasted and the ambience was perfect but they delayed more than half an hour the desserts. Finally they were on the house. It was a very grateful detail.

    We were a table of 6. Table was in a restaurant area not main bar as a Saturday. This was great area with tables well spaced out. Staff greeting at door friendly and professional. We were at a table with air con over and they moved us no issue. We then went o main bar after meal for music and drinks
