"the food was superior, everything at the plate was well taken care of, vegetables, the greens, pasta, and of course the meat."

"Very nice interior but the service is arrogant and unprofessional. I entered the restaurant with a friend without a reservation, the waiter asked if we had a reservation, I replied that we did not and we only wanted to eat dessert, so he showed us a free table for 2 people. We waited for a while for the menu, we chose 2 desserts, the waiter was very unhappy that we ordered no drinks or food. After about 10 minutes of waiting he came and ostentatiously took away our paper coasters, which were there from the beginning and napkins. When he served the dessert he put a spoon on the table, did not say anything and did not return to our table. The dessert was very expensive and the taste was not delightful. This was my first and last visit to this place."
