This place needs to improve service significantly. Because food is great, but we were waiting for our food for more than an hour. Server brought us pitcher of water, but no glasses. No bread either. And she was treating us like a strict school teacher, no smile and rushing to order. It seemed to us like we were annoying to her. DJ and music on Friday was too loud, you have to yell at your neighbors in order to be heard.

Pork shnitzel and chicken cutlets were our entrees, i have eaten about a quarter of the 1st cutlet- very bland and overcooked, no seasoning. Pork shnitzel was dry and too crisp, not flavorful either. Drinks - vodka martini was only vodka i think, the cheap quality that smells. Sorry but its bad. They need to invest in a good cook and barmen otherwise i think its going to go downhill fast.
