Our first time at this location and it was a pleasant experience although I must say that we had to change tables due to the low seating at high tables. Fortunately there was a table with regular free-standing chairs that we could have which made all the difference. What a pity that there is such a lovely layout but uncomfortable seats which will affect our return.
