A recent visit to this restaurant was marred by a chaotic experience for a large group, with inadequate seating and slow service leading to an abrupt early exit. Another guest was disappointed by tough, overcooked food during a lunch visit. A patron celebrating a birthday found a raw salmon dish that led to a disagreement with the manager. A returning customer found the dishes dry and lacking flavor, a change from a previous positive experience. On the other hand, some visitors raved about the beautiful setting, efficient service, and delicious food, with particular praise for the gnocchi and pork belly. Despite some inconsistencies, the friendly staff and diverse menu options left several guests satisfied.
