The food was excellent as always. The service especially the bar was extremely slow. The restaurant was extremely busy, but there was only one bartender working. Also, I had an issue with my Lemonade. Instead of replacing it, the waitress continued to ask me what was missing. It became annoying. She ended up bringing me more lemon juice and strawberry puree. At this point, I was remaking my own lemonde. The waitress, however was attentive and was trying to resolve any issues. I would have been easier to just bring me another lemonade.

The food was delicious, with well-balanced flavors and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was equally impressive, offering a cozy yet vibrant ambiance. The menu felt a bit on the expensive side. While the experience was enjoyable the value didn't quite match the price tag.
