Good food - not worth the price. Service is weird with almost no personality?? Left us sitting for almost 20 minutes when we first sat down and the restaurant was half full. Had to ask for water, drinks. Had to ask for wine like 3 times. Waiter had to write down the order as we went. It was all kind of weird!
