Absolutely appalling service. The staff were incredibly rude and arrogant throughout. According to them, ordering via the QR menu was not feasible or advisable, which makes no sense. To top it off, they offered products that weren’t even on the menu. The attitude of the service team was nothing short of condescending. It’s a shame the employer doesn’t seem to be aware of or care about this. Truly a disgrace. I have never experienced such poor treatment in a restaurant. Avoid at all costs! Definitely choose another bar instead—there are far better options within just a few meters.

Very unfriendly waiter! A real rip-off, as only people passing through are usually required. Wonder what kind of boss employs such employees.

Unfortunately I can't rate the food because it didn't happen.
Short and sweet: don't go there, even if you're thirsty. Rudest waiter I've had in a long time...

I sat down at a table, tried using the QR code to order and it didn't work. I looked around, but the servers were ignoring me. When one got off his phone, he first asked me how many we are, and when I said one, he rudely directed me to a smaller table. There were enough free tables and maybe they could get higher throughput if they paid more attention. So I got up and went elsewhere.

I didn't eat but a very well served Dry Martini and a beer made me return the next day to re-board. I will remember it forever and would return for the Dry Martini. The woman who helped me was very kind.

The food was good. We had the turkey burger and flatbread were decent for airport food. Our waiter was an older gentlemen and one of the BEST waiters I’ve ever experienced. Very thorough, attentive and great communication.

Horrible service and food. Even worse: the servers give unauthorized extra tips to themselves. Avoid at all costs

Food was really not good. Like eating reheated leftovers from a school cafeteria, but expensive. My daughter said the pizza tasted like those microwaved pizza rolls they serve you for breakfast in Italy airways when you land. Our waiter was brusque and rushed. Go somewhere else.

Only QR code menu and forces you to accept cookies pushed into your phone. Portion of food is very small. The juices are so diluted you can barely feel the taste. The prices are very high even for an airport.
