Setting is nice but the food was just okay. Nothing spectacular about the linguine I ordered. One can get a butter/lemon sauce anywhere. The service was fine. I'm not in any hurry to go back.

Worst restaurant experience ever. What a disaster. From the moment we arrived, the service was extremely disappointing. Nobody asked us about allergies, and my wife ended up having a serious allergic reaction. For a restaurant, especially one serving food professionally, this is completely unacceptable. The service throughout the meal was also terrible. Our starters didn’t arrive at the same time, so I had to sit there watching my wife eat while I waited for mine. For the main course, we both ordered meat and specifically requested different cooking temperatures, but they arrived incorrectly cooked and did not match what we had ordered. What made the whole experience even worse was the way the restaurant handled everything afterward. Despite the allergy issue, poor timing, and incorrectly prepared food, they didn’t even offer to remove anything from the bill or make any meaningful gesture to acknowledge what had happened. Extremely disappointing service and a terrible overall experience. We definitely will not be returning.
