Food: Underwhelming grease-fest

The cuisine at the restaurant is predominantly strikes out short of the mark. The meals are distinctly lackluster, overwhelmed by grease, and disturbingly void of flavour. Furthermore, the freshness of produce leaves much to be desired, with avocados past their prime and questionable meat quality, raising some disquieting culinary red flags.

  • Great Variety

    Great variety covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with extensive selections.

  • Okay Taste

    Reviews vary, with food being okay, satisfying but not exceptional.

  • Low Quality

    Avocado was old, meat's freshness questionable, indicating possible quality issues.

Vibe: Thirsty? Look elsewhere

The restaurant shocks with its glaring beverage void – alcoholic drinks are strikingly absent from their offerings. This unfortunate fact greatly detracts from the overall dining experience, leaving nothing to whet the palate nor to complement the food.

  • Okay Ambiance

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Ambiance sway.

  • Bad Drinks

    No alcoholic beverages available, limiting the dining experience significantly.

Perks: Service: Tortoise would outpace

The level of service at the restaurant is disappointingly substandard. Staff exhibits an alarming lack of professionalism, coupled with painfully slow service that leaves customers impatient and dissatisfied. The inefficiencies don't end there – the process for ordering and seating seems to have been devised to add an additional layer of frustration to the dining experience.

  • Bad Service

    Staff unprofessional, slow service, ordering and seating process inefficient.
