    The staff is friendly and helpful, but the experience falls short. The main room was booked for a private event, so the promised rooftop view was unavailable. Bathrooms were poorly maintained, with a non-flushing toilet and a broken trash can. There’s no happy hour, drinks are overpriced at $25, and the 90-minute table limit feels restrictive. Overall, not worth it—skip this place.

    Definately not like the pictures. The place is small and dated. Bathroom was disgustingly dirty. Totally an overpriced restaurant food was okay and expensive. I don’t mind paying a lot for good food, but this place was not worth it. The staff was friendly, but this restaurant/bar has seen better days.

    Brunch menu is limited. Portions are small. They don’t have coffee creamer. They only had regular milk and almond milk. Bathroom needs to be updated. It”s like an airplane bathroom.

    The ambiance was great but the service was basically nonexistent, I had to go the hostess to get someone to bring my check because we only had our server come by to take our order and then never again.

    Super cute and worthy of a instagram post. Happened to be there when it wasn’t crowded. Good drinks and food. The ambience and decor is I loved. Service was just ok though could be more attentive and I went to get my own glass.

    We hadn’t realised this was a bar with food but decided to stay. There are no real views and it’s very dark! The food was limited but nice and the staff helpful, it’s not really suitable for anyone with walking issues as stairs from the lift But great for young people on a night out.

    Very good food and really nice decoration ! Too bad we had to move at the desert to another table because they were preparing a party, so there was a lot of mouvement and the Dj was testing the sound so we had 3 times the music volume all of a sudden very loud. A bit uncomfortable but okey. And the bottle of water turned out costing 12$… . But all the other prices were very OK ! I would recommand it ❤️

    Definitely didn’t get any views of anything besides a wall by what looked like the kitchen, I really can’t rate anything else, my husband and I were so disappointed with the ambiance since we were trying to have a romantic date night, we left before even trying anything.
