   We sat at the bar to have a drink and eat dinner. After 15 min.. the bartender threw a little sign in front of us that gave us access to the menu. He never said a word to us.. or acknowledged or presence. We asked for a table and we’re offered a table next to a family where 2 people were not wearing shoes. We chose to leave… will not return

   No need for even using OpenTable for a reservation here, as they don’t even have a host stand, and no one even bothered to check on the reservation. They simply just sat us at a table, and didn’t even ask me my name. There was an event happening there – a birthday party – and the music was very loud. While I am fine with this and understand, it happens at many, such places, what I do not understand is why they set us right next to the event, not around the corner – where there is much better lighting, and a bit of a reprieve from all the noise. It is in the back, bear the bar, and the waitress who sat us, did not even mention or offer that this was available. The only reason I even know about this area, is because I went to the bathroom and had to walk through it to get there. Why did they not see us here from the beginning? This place is not super big, but our waitress seemed to be overwhelmed with the work she was knowing. She took a very long time to come back and check on the table, and I had to go looking for her to even pay the check– $140 US for one alcoholic drink, three appetizers, and one entrée. This place is generally overpriced for what was for the most part average food, poor ambience, and poor service. I would not come back to this place.

   Firstly we where sat right next to the speaker for the “band”. Loud and uncomfortable not the ambiance we where looking for. Then we sat where the server was non existent. There was qr code for a menu I personally don’t like those. Appetizer cam out and it was good nothing to write home about we asked for something to dip it in and by the time we got it we where done. When (I repeat) when our food came out my wife was served 1st (small portions,) then we ordered A side of rice it came out late and cold. The server said 3 min till my dish came out and about 15 min later they said it will be ready in about another 2 min. So no food for me We asked for our bill ( my wife was done with dinner,) I told them to take my food off the bill and we will pay for what we consumed . Well surprise my food came! How convenient, This place sucks and the experience ruined our night we try to go to a different restaurant every so often but this place is one and done. Oh! Here’s the kicker they had the audacity of putting a 20% tip on the bill.. My advise.. get dressed up and go somewhere else. Steer as far away as possible from this place.

   I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. We had a 7 p.m. reservation and were informed by the hostess that we had a two-hour limit, which was totally fine. However, the service was painfully slow—it took over an hour just to receive two appetizers and a round of drinks. By the time we paid, it was barely 8 p.m., yet the hostess (a black-haired lady) came over and rudely told us our time was up and that we needed to start packing up. Mind you, we had barely gotten our food in a reasonable time, but we left anyway because at that point, we had no interest in staying any longer. Food? Just okay. Drinks? Also okay. Nothing special. Our waitress was hardly around, but to be fair, she seemed overwhelmed, so I won’t blame her too much. The real issue was the rude hostess, who completely soured the experience. With so many great restaurants around, I don’t see a reason to return here. Service should match the prices they charge—this place failed at that.

   It was a wonderful experience and an amazing dinner in an atmosphere that reminded us of Eastern Europe.

    As a group of 6 we tried quite a few dishes. Every single one of them was eaten. It was a truly delightful experience. Highly recommend. Especially if you want some live music.
