This is, sadly, a very mixed review. The food, when it eventually arrived, was really good, but we did take exception to being subjected to staff training. The 1st 25 minutes of our stay saw us waiting for the waiter to bring menus, then waiting for order to be taken, then finishing our glass of wine before the food order taken. 15 minutes after that, the waiter came back to say he had LOST our order and could he take it again.

I followed this instruction and was promptly ignored at the door.
Undeterred, I chose to occupy a vacant table. However, the staff member subsequently approached me and inquired if I had made a reservation. I clarified that I had not, as I had been previously advised to walk in. She then proceeded to inform me that there would be a significant wait for food and abruptly departed.
This experience left me deeply dissatisfied and...
