    Great service, ambiance, music and lighting as per usual. Too frequently changing the menu, very disappointed with portion sizes this time around. Was my favourite restaurant in the district as someone who lives nearby - unfortunately won’t be back. $25 for a chicken leg is beyond me.

    Terrible place to have dinner, lack of service, food doesn't taste any better than fast food, i guess thats the reason why even Friday night they weren't that busy. The supervisor with suit/tie, when we complainend about the poor service with him, dude never apologize for their service, instead he questioned guests tone and attitude wasn't right, then hes pointing and talking to the guests with colleagues from distance.
