  • "Environment itself is a bit too dark but it's just my personal preference."
  • "First the acoustics made all the talk on all the neighbouring tables very loud, and then there was unnecessary loud music, so conversation was a struggle."
  • "The atmosphere became too cozy at 7 pm when they lowered the lights and we finished the dinner in almost darkness."
  • "The restaurant itself could be nice if it weren't for the overly loud music and the lights being dimmed to an utterly stupid level."

  • "The drinks also seemed overpriced."
