"The past reviews on service is really accurate.
Waited to come in,waited to be served and was denied service by waitress Aline.( told us to wait and served the table next to us despite they came later)
After a period of time,another waiter came to ask us for our order.
We ordered lemonade but was served sprite.( can see in attached pic) asked the waiter and said that there is no error.THAT WAS LEMONADE was the reply!!
The grilled chicken was cooked ok but too much oiled.Fried salmon was too dried and no sauce was provided for us.
Overall,please avoid coming to this restaurant if you are tourists."

"If you are a tourist DON’T come to this restaurant, the manager and the waiters are EXTEMELY rude, they ask you to stay outside the restaurant. When we came the restaurant was very empty, we asked for a table for 4, they said NO, that it was IMPOSIBLE. So they preferred to loose clients than to give us a table in an EMPTY place.
We went to the sushi in front and the waiter is the best. So don’t waist your time, neither your time in this restaurant. The owner of this restaurant must know that he lost money in an EMPTY Place as we can see in the pictures I took 👍🏻"
