    Honestly, I’d definitely come visit again. What a beautiful place and the service was 10/10.

    So I made a reservation for my birthday which was Sunday for 8pm , up on arrival the hostess didn’t even approached us, I had to follow one of the waitress and tell her we had a reservation. The table was not set so she told us to sit and wait, 10min later we finally sitting, no one even visited our table we had to get their attention. She finally came to the table, never introduced her self and she was full of attitude as if she is being forced to serve us. I saw her name only after she brought the bill Nolo is her name, she gave us one of thee worse experience , barely at the table. Ice on the cake was when we asked for a takeaway bag , she only brought one bag , we asked for another bag she said that the only bag left out of the whole restaurant. We proceed to ask another waiter he answered us “if she said the is no more that s the means the is no more . Few minutes later a lady was sitting on the next table asked for a bag, now the same gentleman now came to ask us how many bags we need after telling us the was no more bags. We were treated as if we don’t belong there. I literally didn’t enjoy my experience there.
