" The food was pretty good, but I was expecting something more authentic. Don't get me wrong, the flavors were there, but some dishes felt a bit too modernized. The seating was a bit cramped, and it was hard to have an intimate conversation at times. My server was efficient and friendly, which definitely made the evening better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit for the first time. The food was alright, but nothing that truly wowed me. I expected a bit more based on the reputation. For the price, the portion was just average. I can’t say I’d rush to return, but perhaps I’ll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
