The service was nice with a very zealous waiter 😊 - The food was good, except that, I specifically asked for the octopus not to be grilled which changed the taste of the octopus👎 and then of course it was served grilled, instead bringing it steamed before being grilled - also, what they did not say is, when you have an iced tea if they ask you if I want to have a refill, I said yes, but they did not mention that you have to pay for the refill - that is not correct - for the first time I saw that it was an extra charge of 3% and when I asked what for? … it is, if you use your credit card - but before running the bill they should ask first how we will pay to know that if I will be using a credit card (visa or master which have different rates 3% & 4%) or paying cash! If people are paying cash, they don’t know about that and they will be paying unnecessarily and unjustifiably the 3% without asking or knowing - There are some adjustments to be made there to make the things right about “Transparency”😏
