    Very tasty food. We had the Feed Me banquet option. I will say the portion sizes were a little small. But the flavours were great. We'll be back.

    We were a little worried after reading some negative reviews, but the food as well as the staff were great. It is a noisy place so don’t go if you want a quiet dinner, but then again this is an area full of tourists and young people it will be hectic every where .. but we did enjoy our food and the staff was attentive, helpful and gracious. I couldn’t decide which white wine to order and was given 2 samples so I could pick .. not many busy places will bother with that! The chicken skewers were delicious and the portion was very large. Last but not least we had no problem whatsoever with our reservation via Open Table. It s a nice lunch and dinner spot and have no problem recommending it!
