Service was a bit slow and some of the food ok but not what I expected. I tried all but did not like everything. There was also an issue with the heater of the place, it felt like burning and they took a while to help us.
The food was a bit too rich for my blood. The restaurant itself is stunning, with a fantastic view and a great ambiance. However, the food didn’t quite live up to the setting. The flavors felt overly fancy and didn’t suit my palate. By the time the noodles and chicken arrived, I found myself wishing for something more traditional and familiar. While the dishes were okay, for the price, I expected something truly exceptional—and unfortunately, it just didn’t deliver.”
