Reviews
They give warm bread and butter at the table. Our server was attentive too but not overly.
Only posted the video in bathroom because the music caught me off for a second, when first walked in there were lyrics and I thought people were talking between stalls, but they were clean and nicely scented bathroom which is a plus.
Will add though the hostesses were slightly rude, my first impression want very welcoming there was 3 of them, asked if we needed reservations and our response was “we are slow right now” Either way, we obviously are tourists and gave it a try. Recommend maybe the hostesses try to be more welcoming, smile more , we are here to spend money and if others are like me, wrote a review.
This place is extremely overrated—largely because too many people follow hype instead of forming their own opinions. Here’s the real experience:
• Racist undertones from staff
• Unhelpful and reluctant service
• Uncomfortably loud upper deck
• Staff indifferent to seating preferences
• Overpriced food for mediocre quality
• Surprise “kitchen service fee” added to the bill
Upon entering, we were greeted with cold, dismissive energy. There were three staff members at the host stand, laughing and smiling among themselves, but their demeanor immediately shifted the moment my partner and I—both people of color—approached. We asked to sit upstairs and were told to “find whatever seat.” Once we got up there, the noise level was overwhelming, so we returned downstairs and asked to be seated in the quieter area. One staff member shrugged it off to a colleague and walked away with a subtle attitude. The hostess who eventually seated us clearly didn’t want to be bothered. She made no effort to offer seating options and initially tried to place us in a dark corner. When we asked for more light, she simply placed us in another corner—still far from ideal.
The only highlight of our visit was our waitress. She was friendly, professional, and clearly trying her best. She is the only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars instead of 1.
As for the food:
The fried calamari was smothered in flour—overly heavy for a starter, especially for someone trying to enjoy a cheat day without feeling stuffed before the main.
The steak was decent, but the fries tasted like they came out of a freezer bag.
And most upsetting of all: The racial bias was hard to ignore. We watched as other guests—clearly not people of color—received warm, attentive service, while we were barely acknowledged. Even an Army veteran dining near us received no appreciation or special service, despite his partner politely asking. That says a lot about the values here.
I will never return. The atmosphere is empty when basic human decency is missing. Avoid this place if you care about genuine hospitality and equal treatment.
We were greeted as we entered and immediately seated. Our Server was very helpful, friendly and fast.
I had their vegetarian dish of portobello mushroom in a pastry, with carrots all in a red wine sauce. I enjoyed it and the portion size was good.
Thank you for a lovely experience.
