After 1 hour of waiting with our drinks, do not too bad) we had to remind the maitre that we were still waiting, as he had misunderstood. He was helpful letting us order our food so we could eat straight away when we finally had a table, and after 10 mins we sat. The food came, deep fried fries with truffle oil were amazing and the pork belly tacos good also. And then our main came, which was the specialty of the day.... Not only it was cold, but our portion was so much smaller than the one the people next to us had, that this is what ruined the experience for us... Staff was friendly but a bit all over the place.. Maybe they are decent on a good day but wouldn't recommend:

The steak was tasteless and chewy! 25 euros for risotto with 4 prawns! Or gambas! The staff weren’t very customer friendly or welcoming!

The entrees were ok but not more. With the main dish things started to get spicy. The entrecôtes we ordered appeared to come from a local shoe store. They literally tasted like shoe soles. One of the entrecôtes was cold. They brought the same entrecôte back, microwaved, sad again. I could write more but I hope this will be enough.

Everything other than the food was fine, but I left quite disappointed. I think a 3 out of 5 is overly fair, but maybe my expectations about where 30 euro can get you are inflated.
