Disgusting! It wasn’t possible to evaluate the kitchen, but the service is definitely terrible. I tried several times to get to lunch, and was denied every time.
For the first time I came at lunchtime, but the kitchen was closed and there's nothing to do here. A young guy who doe speak English at all simply says "closed" and sits with friends and drinks.
