Nestled in a prime location near the arena, this restaurant impresses with a diverse and well-prepared menu that earns high praise from diners. While the food quality consistently delights, service issues often detract from the experience. Guests report slow or inattentive staff, with many expressing frustration over delayed orders, unhelpful interactions, and a lack of acknowledgment post-meal. Despite these shortcomings, some patrons are willing to overlook the service lapses for the chance to enjoy the flavorful dishes. With hopes for improved staffing and attention to customer care, many are eager to return for another culinary journey.

The restaurant was at a great location. Unfortunately there were only two employees who ran two bars and in front of the house. we had to hunt our drink orders, as it seemed to order more on the bar than on the table. when it came to order, the server took 4 other tabular orders. then our food came out separately. the half of the table had finished eating when the other half of the diners came out. eating was tasty, but I think that the witness can't handle when the events are on, as it is a big restaurant/bar for just two people to run.

Nice eating, but unfortunately the service was not great, they were clearly short workers, so that table service was slow and the drinks did not arrive until after the food came, which also took a dae. but the staff did their best and the manager was very apologetic for the bad service. it would not stop us to come back, although eating was excellent and hopefully many choices next time when we go, they were able to recruit the staff for such a busy restaurant.

As soon as we arrived, the waiter made us feel unwelcome and then took 5-10 minutes to bring us the menus. He then informed us that the establishment is a bar and kitchen for patrons over 19, but is still family-friendly. I, being 18, was surprised and frustrated as I have never encountered such a policy in a pub before. There were no signs or clear indications of this rule.

The food is amazing! Only a single problem, plates were cold, so the food would have warmed longer if they had been heated. Maybe the cook could start improving the experience. ? Good varied menu.
