Horrible experience. I booked a table through their website and received confirmation, but upon arrival, the rude waiter claimed I hadn’t booked. Even after I showed proof, he dismissed it, blaming a colleague for not informing him. Then, he told me that the kitchen wouldn’t open until noon (it was 11:45).
So I asked if I could order a drink while waiting, and he condescendingly replied, "Exceptionally, I’ll allow it" (as if I had asked for something unreasonable).
When I went to the bar to order cappuccinos and returned upstairs, this waiter followed me quickly, demanding in a very aggressive and imposing tone to know what I had ordered. (Instead of asking his colleague).
I reassured him that the barman had taken the order, but he continued speaking to me rudely. I directly asked him why he was being so aggressive, to which he responded that it was only my perception (instead of having the decency to at least apologize)

In short, I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a pleasant...

We came for breakfast and was pretty disappointed with the food. We got eggs and toast and the eggs were sitting in a pool of liquid which makes me think the eggs were reheated, which causes the moisture to escape. The temperature of the eggs was also really hot on top but lukewarm in the middle.
The eggs and toast was 14 euros which to me was not worth it given the quality.
Service was good and the atmosphere is great but I wouldn’t come back...
