Report incorrect information
- Avoid carbonara - overall average food quality
- Do not take the table (near fire exit) i.e if it's not inside
- Inattentive staff
- Skip if it's a special occasion for you
Update:
The response of the restaurant is even more disappointing to read, for not owning the mistake & pushing the blame on the customer shows a lack of intent to improve. Lies about plates being 'sparkling clean' / 'ordering last minute', probably trying to build some narrative, proves the hospitality we were given. So I would recommend reading the response first before reading the review below.
My review:
We visited on 21st August 2026, All in all, a pretty sub par experience for the ratings & cost. I would strongly say skip if it's special ocassion.
We didn't complaint while we were there, because it was a special day for us & given the staff's behaviour it would have just made it worse for us, but leaving a review hoping it doesn't ruin your special occasion.
Came here for my wife's birthday but we were truly disappointed by the experience here.
Noise - we came here for an experience, all we could hear was disturbances / loud noises from a table next to us which wasn't under control but maybe pays a huge cheque so the staff tolerated it & never nudged them to keep it down.
Staff - When requesting for another table as it was a special day for us, they denied so we politely asked for a table just next to us which was empty at the time which they mentioned is reserved, few guests came there made a similar request to move inside, were later moved to inside table upon request although we requested it previously.
This table stayed empty through the whole time we were there, shows inattentiveness of the staff. They did indeed come to check-in on the food once everything was over.
At some point they even opened the fire exit behind to let the smell of garbage inside, which was appalling to us.
Waiters when taking order hints you to order more even though there is sufficient time left (several people ordered at least 30-45 mins after we ordered), don't expect such hospitality from a great restaurant with supported reviews, we noticed a similar pattern on a table alongside.
Food - Lastly the food itself was just below average & nothing special, I would NOT recommend the carbonara (should have read other reviews about the same which calls this out), or riggtoni (runny sauce) both of which we ordered, sadly even though we're somebody who never leaves the food we couldn't finish carbonara.
The presentation is as if not effort has been put into the food as you can see in the pictures.
