Food and atmosphere were wonderful. It was absurd that desert and coffees came but it was 20 mins later that the tea arrived, despite asking 3 different people where it was. When it arrived, it was lukewarm. We were told by one person it takes a long time to heat up the water. We weren't sure if they were serious or making a joke.

Food and service great. 9.5/10 overall. If I was to just critique, they could use more sweet red wine on the menu.
