just okay... nothing special really

slow servicelimited menu
the service left something to be desired, really. it took ages to get anyone's attention to order, and even longer for desserts to arrive. the menu also felt a bit limited, especially if you're not into meat. i wish there were more plant-based options available, it would improve the experience.
