“ We visited it on a Saturday night. It was crowded. We stayed on the terrace. We were 12 people. I ordered a steak which was good. The potatoes that comes with it was horrible and fried more than once for sure. And at the beginning I found something in the plate that wasn’t very pleasant and I understand that mistakes could happen. I asked the waiter to bring me other potatoes, and he did. We got invited to some deserts at the end. The team is amazing and helpful. I recommend this place. ”
