Vibe: Falling flat in atmosphere and romance

The ambiance is often criticized for being outdated and dirty, with a crowded, loud environment that isn't suitable for a tranquil date night. Yet, it manages to buzz with energy, suggesting a lively crowd on most evenings.

  • Great Buzz

    Popular place with busy, lively atmosphere and well-known for Instagram.

Perks: Convenience overshadowed by poor service

Parking tends to be a hassle, particularly during peak hours. Although the restaurant accommodates large groups well, slow and inattentive service is a frequent complaint, making it hard to enjoy the meal fully.
