We ate here recently and the food was very average. Presented well but only just warm when served to us. We had the chicken carbonara and the chicken tasted very cheap unfortunately

Just the worst… the food, and the service. At least the drinks were good, but unfortunately we got our appetizers (30+mins) before the first drinks were served. Then they took an hour to get us all of our drinks (we had ordered 4) we had received dinner by the time we got the last drink. My food was awful and barely enough to eat. Some of us got food with missing portions for example no couscous with the eggplant! I would never go back there again
