Seriously, who 's been leaving these glowing reviews? My taste buds are sending out an SOS! Let 's start with the appetizers: tiny, but mighty... in price, that is. You get about two bites for the cost of a small nation. Then there 's the service: think human statue meets creepy staring contest. One woman seemed to be perfecting her art of standing still, which was less helpful and more is this performance art? But the real showstopper? The main courses. They looked like supermodels on a plate, but tasted like... well, absolutely nothing, drowned in enough oil to power a small engine. It 's like the menu description was written by a different restaurant entirely. Honestly, I 'm starting to think those five-star ratings are as fake as a three-dollar bill. Unless, of course, tasteless and greasy is the new culinary trend I missed. Save your money, folks, unless you 're into expensive, oily disappointment.

Later in the evening my little sister started having a severe stomachache and was sick throughout the night getting no rest. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
