“When we were there the weather was beautiful and sunny, lucky us! However, it was raining the days before we arrived and the entrance floor mat was soaked with water. Everytime we entered the room we brought wet shoe prints from the entrance mat into the room, even though it was not raining and sunny.

We understand it is just a cheaper alternative to the restaurant, however considering the cafe prices ,the food quality and taste was less than an average neighborhood restaurant. It was very disappointing, however the cocktails were amazing.”
