I once had a fantastic experience but last time was just so disappointing. The portions were ridiculously small for the price ( I got more in my side dish than my main, I had to complain so they would at least match it),the service was rude and dismissive and they took forever to serve us. After I complained about the portions which honestly I should have taken a photo to share, they were rude and dismissive for the rest of our meal. The food was good but not worth this. Won't go back again.
