Description

Nestled in a bustling area, this restaurant has attracted mixed reviews as patrons voice their concerns over declining service and atmosphere. Many report lengthy waits for cocktails, inattentive staff, and a disorganized approach to customer management, with some customers leaving in frustration before receiving their orders. Instances of staff members appearing unprofessional have further marred the experience for frequent visitors. However, there are positive mentions of friendly service and pleasant decor, particularly from attentive staff members. Overall, while it once promised a lively dining experience, the establishment may need to reassess its service strategy to win back customers.

We came to this restaurant for cocktails after dining at Marton Bistro. However, we ended up leaving without any drinks. The service was extremely slow and unprofessional. It took around 10 minutes for the server to even take our order, which consisted of an Amaretto Sour, a French Martini, and a Mojito. After waiting for 25 minutes and still not receiving our drinks, we decided to leave. The bar staff were inefficient and lacked customer service skills. We were very disappointed and will not be returning to this establishment. It was a complete disaster.

Poorly ran. The waiting time on cocktails is mind blowingly slow and unprofessional and the amount of time it took someone to take our order was just as slow! Won't be trying again. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

This restaurant has significantly declined in quality. We used to frequent this place and always enjoyed it, but recently the atmosphere at the bar has changed for the worse. The staff are extremely rude and the manager is unhelpful, often ignoring customers and sitting on his phone. It's a shame that the fun atmosphere we used to love is no longer present. We will be looking for another place to dine from now on.
