The area felt cheap and far from the ambiance you’d expect for a “fancy” dining experience. The staff was incredibly rude, showing no sense of hospitality or professionalism. To top it off, they offered us seating that was absolutely unacceptable—chairs that looked like they were meant for kids. Imagine trying to enjoy dinner in such uncomfortable and poorly thought-out furniture. It felt like an afterthought, not a proper restaurant setup. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for anything remotely upscale or enjoyable.
