This place was recommended by my hotel . They made phone call for arrangement and reservation arrangement. I am very calm civilized person , unfortunately that place did not accept me to enter the bar. They said for couple only, at the same time many single men passed the entrance greeted to get in. Host said they have own table inside. Not only that they give me impression that I am not good enough to get in . I called the bar they said sorry for couples only.

They charged us a cover charge, service charge of 12% and a VAT of 14%. It all adds up. As service charge is included we didn't tip. Is...
Read moreMy wife & I went to the restaurant to celebrate an occasion 2 weeks ago, the place, the atmosphere and the service were great. We ordered sea food soup, Ceasor salad, veal and rack of lamb, of course as usual we shared each other dish and we went home to Sleep. We both wake up in the morning with very bad diarrhea, pain in the stomach and fever, I called my doctor to come over and we were told that there was a germ in the food we ate. We suffered for 4 days straight. This is a hygiene issue , it could happen any where but it could been avoided if they do wash food the right way but most likely it was the veal.
