J'y suis allée pour dîner avec mon meilleur ami en début de semaine , je suis un peu déçue . Le service a été compliquer & il fallait faire signe aux serveurs pour avoir quelque chose ( boisson ) personne n'est jamais venu nous voir si nous étions correct. Ce n'était pas plein la , nous étions 12 peut être dans le restaurant ?
La nourriture était bonne par contre, mais je n'y retournerai pas
