1.0

Disappointing across the board. The food was average at best & arrived barely warm. The pad thai lacked flavor & felt like an afterthought, while the chicken combo came with vegetables that tasted straight out of a freezer bag.

Service didn't help. Instead of answering questions or listening to feedback, the waiter acted more like a pushy salesperson, rushing us through the experience rather than actually caring whether we enjoyed the meal.

This is a bring-your-own-wine restaurant, but instead of being a plus, it feels like an excuse to charge high prices for mediocre food & poor execution. Overall, the impression is clear: profit comes first, not quality or hospitality. Definitely not worth a return visit.
