We are regular customers and noticed yesterday 11/27 that a 3% credit card charge was included. This was not mentioned by anyone when producing the bill. This should have been noted on the menu itself as is usually disclosed for special charges. It caught by surprise when we checked the bill at home. We now have to think of whether to go back.

Our only problem was the seating policy of the Restaurant. We made a reservation for 7pm. We arrived on time. There were tables inside the main room to accommodate us. However, we were assigned to a booth at the corridor, entrance right next to the cashier. The worst was that other couples with no reservations arrived after us and were taken to the main room. The food was good and the waiter also. However it was a very bad experience and we don't think we will return.
