The first time the food was ok, and service relatively good: fast but they did mix up the orders. Nothing major but it did happen. All in...all a passable if unremarkable experience. So since the food was passable in the first time, close to home, and the price ok price range for main if I remenber correctely, we decided to give it a second chance. This time I ordered Bifteki, and in comparison with other places it was just bland and dry. Hardly any taste at all. My partner had some kind of stew that was oily and again without any distinctive taste. In the need we thought we would have better served by having some cheese and olives at home. That gives you an idea. The wine was drinkable, and the service somewhat slow. Positives: we did stay outside in the garden which is pleasant on a summer evening. Plenty of wines and plants covering the place. Conclusion: edible food, though tasteless, meaning that it is overpriced for the quality, but nice outside garden. I will probably not got there again

After 65 minutes, the first of four ordered meals arrived and a wrong order because the waiter wrote down the wrong number. We didn't want this meal because we didn't order it. After another 10 minutes, two more meals came, all lukewarm to cold. We didn't want to return the food because we didn't want to wait another hour, so maybe it was a mistake. As we say...hunger is what drives us. After 90 minutes the last meal finally arrived and I was already finished (meal number 1). But the big hit was the hidden message beneath the baked pork skewers. There was a soggy note from the waiter's pad on the plate under the meat...disgusting. Of course, this meal went back without replacement, we just didn't feel like it anymore because it would definitely have taken another hour. NEVER AGAIN
