The food and menu have been the same for the past 20 years. It’s decent — nothing extraordinary, but satisfactory. The crowd is interesting, but the tables are way too small and cramped. It’s extremely uncomfortable to have dinner, especially if you have a wine bucket on the table — you simply can’t move. The tables are placed so close to each other that you can hear every word from the people next to you, and they can hear your conversation too. It’s really unpleasant.
