An absolutely basic bar, with expensive drinks & rude staff. Some of the staff even came to the food court seating to check what I was drinking. The staff chatted about the customers while preparing very simple food.

Mi visita fue… peculiar. Ver a algunos empleados bebiendo mientras trabajaban me hizo pensar que la fiesta era para ellos, no para los clientes. Ver al cocinero manejando productos sin guantes tampoco ayudó: la higiene parece opcional.

La ensaladilla rusa fue otro misterio culinario, nada que ver con lo que uno espera según uno de los chicos era desconstruida jajajaja jajajaja vaya tomadura de pelo.Eso sí, el camarero Juan fue un verdadero profesional, el único punto brillante de la noche.

En resumen: un sitio memorable por las razones equivocadas.
