It was an interesting experience. When I arrived, they told me the window tables were only for people with reservations, even though the restaurant was completely empty. I booked a reservation on my phone right there, and when I came back, they sarcastically gave me a window table. It was funny in a way, but the front desk staff and the manager definitely need to improve their approach. This was my fifth time dining here, and it reminded me of those Instagram videos where you think, “Why would you lie?” Even when we left, there were still about 9 empty window tables.

Delicious dishes - the oyster mushroom kebab is the real deal. Portions were small even though they said that dishes were to be shared. I was celebrating a birthday but no cake was given. I know it's not required but I was expecting to be given something at an establishment like this.

We had a great experience with our orders of Octopus, Salmon, and a Ribeye. Food was fantastic. Service was great and management is there and wants you to be happy. Desserts are phenomenal - we had the Pot au Crème and the bread pudding with chocolate. Great location and vibe!
