Value

Pros:

  • "10/10, great value for money and I still have great aftertaste in my mouth."
  • "And the prices are a bit cheaper than other restaurants."

  • "Everything we tasted was super delicious."
  • "Worth every cent!"
  • "Service was so quick and efficient."

Cons:

  • "It would’ve been nice if we were offered some discount because I definitely don’t think the meal was worth $110 together per person."
  • "$55 for 'Lobster Linguine, with maybe a scant level tablespoon of tiny pieces of lobster."
  • "But we found the food a bit like the Airplane food joke.... not very good and not enough, especially considering the prices."
  • "The food wasn’t worth the wait, nor its price being about double what you’d typically find at nearby Italian restaurants."
  • "I think it is way overpriced for the food and experience."
  • "The food took nearly an hour to arrive and the portions were the size of appetizers."
  • "Frankly, if you're going to charge $35 to $40 per main course and $90 for a bottle of wine, the service should match."
