The restaurant was by no means full but the waiter kept asking us when our friend was arriving, even though it still wasn’t the time of our booking yet. In the end we ordered just to keep him quiet. We felt rushed, at the end too, it seemed as though they wanted to clear away lunch service and leave. The staff didn’t smile at us once. Pasta was nice. Fish was a little oily. We ordered a carafe of wine but he said they only had bottles or half bottles. I didn’t check the price on the menu and he charged us a lot for a half bottle. I think I will look elsewhere in the future.

Reservations are usually necessary but not hard to get.

Booking was confirmed, but when we turned up the restaurant was actually closed. read more Booking was confirmed, but when we turned up the restaurant was actually closed.
