We only realized later that there was no side dish with the chicken sticks. When we asked, the staff explained this, and we accepted it and ordered fries afterwards. However, the fries never arrived, they were simply forgotten.

The gin and tonic was good. All in all, everything was fine except for the timing of the dishes and the fact that I ended up having my main course with just the meat, without the...
