    It’s a nice place and the service was okay, but we were not really impressed. Maybe it’s because we came for breakfast. The ambiance is pleasant and cozy, but unfortunately, I have to give it 4 stars. This doesn’t mean I didn’t like the place — it’s good, but I wasn’t excited by it. But food was good

    The restaurant has such a lovely old-classy vibe, which makes the atmosphere really special. The food was excellent — the scallops with the sauce were amazing, full of flavor. The grilled lamb was tender and cooked perfectly with a really nice sauce, and the beef stroganoff was delicious too. Overall, a great experience with both the food and the setting. Definitely worth a visit!

    We had a few breakfast dishes along with fresh OJ and ended off with apple strudel as the dessert along with a cappuccino and mint tea. All the items we ordered did not miss the mark. Each dish had great flavour and was delicious. Kudos to the chef and management for keeping the high standards.
