    Despite having booked an outdoor table for 6:30pm, we were made to stand and wait for 20 minutes. When a table became available finally, we weee told it was someone else’s. We finally seated ourselves inside and had to wait over 30 minutes for our pizza, while our guest who ordered pasta was served 15 minutes before us. Even though we have staunchly supported this restaurant since its recent opening, we will no longer as their booking and management processes are chaotic. The food is good but there are other restaurants whose food is just as good and where the experience is far more pleasant.
