Food: Food shines but the price stings

  • Okay Value

    Great quality food but prices can feel a bit steep.

Vibe: Desolate atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired

The stark walls and lack of music contribute to an ambiance that feels more stuffy than cozy. Even on a Friday night, the vacant tables diminish any hope of a vibrant dining experience, making this a poor choice for a romantic evening.

  • Okay Comfort

Perks: Challenging logistics for diners

Parking is a nightmare with limited street space, and making reservations proves daunting as the staff struggles with English. It’s not exactly family-friendly, either, denying amenities for kids in a small setting not suited for larger groups.
