The portions are mentioned to be generous, but do note that pricing could be regarded high for the food quality.

Vibe: Vintage vibe, yet with cozy charm
Nothing too much to write home about the drinks; it's the cozy and warm ambiance that gets mentioned more often. It might feel like stepping into a time capsule straight from 1977, but it’s still a cozy space for a date night. The environment appeals less to those seeking trendy spots.
Great For Dates
Intimate, cozy settings ideal for romantic, private date nights mentioned
Okay Ambiance
Mixed views on lighting and decor, but overall balanced cozy feelings.
Negative Buzz
Decor and vibe stuck in 1977, feels like a dated time capsule.
Perks: Missteps in service and noise
The downside comes with reservations, where the benefits seem non-existent. Couple that with the complaints about slow and sometimes neglectful service, it may dampen your dining pleasure. Failing to soundproof the noisy crowd is another sore point. However, if you're after an outdoor patio or a place that accommodates large groups, it might be worth a visit.
Great For Groups
Accommodates large groups, family gatherings efficiently with great service.
Okay For Diets
Vegetarian friend was pleased, suggesting decent accommodation.
Hard To Reserve
No benefit in reserving, others with no reservations wait less time.
