The restaurant in question seems to be a mixed bag of experiences, with some customers expressing dissatisfaction with their meals and service, while others had a more positive experience. Several customers mentioned long wait times for food, cold or disappointing dishes, and issues with orders being incorrect. Some patrons also mentioned stomach issues after consuming their meals. However, others noted friendly staff, strong coffee, and well-cooked breakfast options. The atmosphere of the restaurant varied, with some customers finding it lacking in energy while others enjoyed a clean and child-friendly space. Overall, it appears that opinions on this restaurant are quite polarized, with some customers willing to give it another chance while others have sworn off their return.

The food was perfectly cooked and great portion sizes. The coffee was so tasty. The service was impeccable however the wait time was too long.
