Food: Mediocre taste, excessive price

The creativity, though present, cannot mask the inconsistent taste, often leaving customers disappointed. Freshness seems to be an afterthought, with descriptions of bad buns, cheap cheese, and unfresh veggies dotting reviews. The portions, on the other hand, are laughably small for the price. The variety, although wide, results in a hit-or-miss dining experience.

  • Very Creative

    Menus offer original recipes with better quality, not run of the mill.

  • Bad Variety

    Vast menu hard to maintain quality, resulting in hit or miss dishes.

Vibe: Dated and stale ambiance

The place sports an ambiance reminiscent of stale, old furniture that hasn’t been touched in years. No amount of originality in the menu can distract from the tired atmosphere, and the buzz doesn’t improve things either, as the revamp only left a dated, stale feel.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Stale furniture and ambiance, place needs better customer service

Perks: Lackluster service and frigid outdoor

Despite having outdoor seating, it’s often too cold to use, even with heaters. Large group orders are a nightmare, often leading to extended wait times and a dampened dining experience. The cherry atop this disappointment sundae, is the management and the staff, whose poor service and rude behavior often leave you wishing you hadn’t come.
