  • "The food did not meet my expectations-taste was simple, nothing that would make me want to go there again."

Service

Cons:

  • "It’s a bit noisy because of the space but doable."
  • "Place has limited space so staff is always in a hurry and you are literally asked to leave as soon as you are done."

Cons:

  • "Loud, crowded, nowhere to wait when it's cold."

  • "Note for anyone with noise sensitivities or migraines: it’s noisy."
  • "There isn't much room for social distancing inside the restaurant."
  • "It was super cramped, i think the place needs to be bigger."
  • "There is cozy and then there is sardine can and this lingers on the latter."

  • "I must say that the prices are reflective of its location or that of Manhattan/Beverly Hills!!"
  • "After paying about $65. for breakfast, at the one hour mark, we were asked to give up our table by the manger."
  • "The restaurant is very small, the menu selection is extremely limited and doesn’t cater to non meat eaters."
