  • "Ps using the tactic ‘the restaurant is fully booked there’s a 45min wait...we prefer u stay please sit at the bar’ to then be seated in a section where there were at least 6 free large tables a mere 10-15mins later, not very good."
  • "After an hour and a half we were there the manager approached us and said, 'I'm going to need the table, you're not consuming enough and we've already had too much loss, I need you to leave'."
  • "When we were there, it was clear that they were understaffed, and the staff weren’t trained at all so orders were forgotten."
