    The food was not timed well with mains coming out before entrees. You could tell they were trying to pump food out so they could move people in and out which ruined the night. They told us from the start we had the table booked for 90 minutes- fine. At an hour they gave us the bill, a few minutes later asked how we were going with the bill. We hadn’t looked at it. Then before our time was up management came to tell us they needed the table back. We get it’s a busy time of year but we chose your restaurant to celebrate a birthday at and it was really let down by how pushy everyone was. Not enjoyable. Food was nice.

    I’m sure our ‘Mixed Grill’ plate was pre prepared and reheated for service, lamb skewers were dry and over done. Also restaurants need to move with the times, if not taking cash then allow customers to pay individually or group without surcharges (if the must just add it to each plate) that’s why I don’t tip anymore 😥
