Malheureusement on a éte plutôt déçu. La déco du bar est très sympa & la cuisine est bonne mais la satisfaction client dépend aussi beaucoup du service & là c'était plus compliqué. On nous a dit qu'ils étaient en sous effectif mais un serveur en particulier a dû oublier les codes de la satisfaction client je crois ! Il ne voulait pas prendre nos commandes, c'est une autre serveuse qui nous les a prises & il n'était vraiment pas aimable... Dommage.
Au fait, bien vérifier les tickets de caisse avant de payer & notamment pour les verres en Happy hours.
Du coup on est allé au bar Darling après, qui n'est pas loin & c'était le jour & la nuit au niveau du service ! Donc malheureusement je conseillerais plutôt celui-ci pour passer une bonne soirée.

Remus, the goat.

I asked, he answered.

From recommending +SS tier drinks (apple-pie old fashion = #1 drink in my life) to dropping elite bombs of knowledge, this place did not let us down for my buddies bachelor party.

Thank you Remus you beast.
