Bad Comfort
Perks: Frustratingly cramped and noisy
While the food shines, the service leaves much to be desired. Reservations are a hassle, parking is a nightmare, and the noise levels make conversational intimacy impossible. Tight seating arrangements create discomfort, especially for groups, detracting from the enjoyment of what could have been a smooth dining experience.
