Quite disappointing! Would never return & cannot recommend at all.

Pasta had no taste at all. It was dry. I thought about sending it back.

Service was erratic. Part of a drink was spilled by waiter, they didn't check with us to see if we needed anything, we had to flag them.

The restaurant itself (interior) is small. Located on a semi-SS, there is a small patio.

We were a group of four, & while everyone else seemed happy with their meals, I personally found the experience a bit underwhelming. The restaurant came highly recommended, but for me, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

The food was okay overall, but I found it lacking in seasoning & depth. I ordered the lobster pasta, which unfortunately didn't taste fresh, it was dry & had a slightly fishy flavour that was hard to overlook.

That said, our server was great, friendly, attentive, & added a positive touch to the evening. Service definitely stood out, even if the food fell short.

Would I go back? Maybe, but I'd try something different on the menu.

Very disappointing. Took 2 hours to get our food, the pastas were bland, & it was not cheap. The waitress was nice & very apologetic, but it did not make up for the rest unfortunately.
