    Make sure you come prepared with a good catching mouth and with sunglasses. I would also not wear a hoodie when you get in. You will be warmed by fire.

    Don't come here if you want to enjoy yourselves. No show at the table, and we were totally rushed out: dessert & bill presented right after meal was served, then they hovered over us until we paid.
