Food: Bland flavours and dull variety

Without notable dishes, one can only consider the food at its base. The taste is summarized as 'lackluster', 'bland', 'overcooked' and 'burnt', with limited menu selection causing further disappointment. Despite praise for creativity and portions, the overall food experience is unfortunately monotonous.

  • Great Value

    Food is high-quality, delicious, and comes at great prices.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found the food 'average', not bad but not standout.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited menu selection leads to disappointment and unmet customer expectations.

Vibe: Displeasing atmosphere and bleak views

Described as a claustrophobic space with loud ambiance, the restaurant certainly lacks in charm. The view of a parking lot does nothing to elevate the experience, and the lack of privacy and excessive noise completely rules it out as a date night spot. Even the drink offerings garner disappointment.

  • Great Buzz

    Frequently busy, popular with locals, great for a hip, lively scene.

  • Okay to Entertain

    Music noted as interesting element, though not a main focus in reviews.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Some reviews noted cramped, loud or unremarkable atmosphere negatively.

Perks: Horrific parking and irksome noise

Housed in a location where parking is a nightmare and the soundscape is an assault to the senses, the restaurant sets itself up for failure. Even simple comforts like outdoor seating or large group accommodation turn into experiences of cramped discomfort. While service can be friendly, it often falls short with speed.

  • Great For Pets

    Welcomes pets warmly, pet-friendly patio, staff gives positive attention

  • Okay Service

    Food quality good, service varies from friendly to slow.

  • Bad For Groups

    Cramped, long waits, not able to handle large groups effectively.
