    Not the best service nor the best introduction to the food.

    Slow service. Meal took 3 hours. Mostly waiting for desserts and coffee. Had extras on the bill. Was directly asked for a tip despite terrible service

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay you experienced during your visit and for any inconvenience caused. Waiting that long for desserts and coffee is far from the standard we strive to uphold, and we understand how frustrating this must have been. Regarding the extras on your bill, this is certainly not acceptable, and we would like to investigate further to ensure this does not happen again. Please reach out to us with more details about your visit so we can address this issue. We also regret that you felt uncomfortable regarding the tip request. This feedback will be shared with our team to ensure proper training and a more respectful service experience in the future. We hope you will give us another chance to provide you with the exceptional dining experience we aim for.
