"Perfect place for a dinner or late night drink. You will have to pay at the table if you are not getting food. Wait staff are very friendly and are willing to help you with any questions."
Rylee Foreman
"There were only 2 waiters for the whole restaurant which was fully seated. So naturally they couldn't get to everyone in time which left us waiting to make our orders for quite a while.
The Caesar salad was not really a Caesar salad. The sauce was wrong and there were not enough of it, the salad leaves were wrong, both in terms of the type used and in terms of them being cut in thin slices.
The chicken in a corn crust was dry and lacking any spices.
The fries that came with the chicken were quite nice.
They had a good variety of soft drinks."
Евгений Астахов
"Had cheese burger and fries. I enjoyed both. It was a good break from pasta and pizza.
Sat outdoor. Quite a number of smokers, which was not too enjoyable for me as a non-smoker, but that should be an Italy or Trieste and me thing rather than a Social Food thing."
