    The food was very much below par, the cocktail was also very ok. The server assigned to us was not very fond of questions and looked in a bad mood. The only good thing was the dessert

    Fantastic venue, relaxed dining with an underlying current of control of what's going on. There was just the right amount of attention, and we could enjoy our evening. We will be returning!
