We had lamb chops and wagyu beef burger and find them good enough to come back again. The food is well flavoured.We are the only customers during our dinner, hope their business will improve.

Great customer recovery by restaurant management! Thank you for the kind offer.We came back for another meal. Unfortunately the same chicken dish was out of stock today, so we tried the steak, which was so much better compared to yesterday’s - many thanks to the chef!We were also given complimentary baklava.Thank you.

$18 for this…. … … very long wait, mediocre food with pathetic portions. Waitress explained (only after food was served) that lunch set positions are generally smaller. But nonetheless price is not justifiable at all! Overall terrible experience, only saving grace was the waitress who was still trying to be nice and professional, apologizing for the slowness of the chef, portions, etc.

I hardly write reviews these days. Partly it is pointless. Do the reviews have any merit? Do bad reviews cause any damage to the outlets being reviewed? Do good reviews bring any advantage to the outlets? More likely they have negative repercussions.The vibe wasn't good when we arrived; at 7 pm on a Saturday there was just one table occupied. Perhaps, it's a drinking place where the crowd will come in later.Now the food, the sole purpose of our visit. The French Onion soup was burning hot and the forest of mushroom soup was decent and had the fragrance and correct temperature. The wagyu burger was decent. The ribeye was objectionable. It was supposed to be charcoal grilled in their Kopa oven. But the meat looked more like being blanched and then tossed in the grill for burnt lines. Medium rare was served as medium well. Any decent chef worth his fire would not have allowed it to be served.I usually do not confront the chef or server. I am out for a dinner and plan to keep the pleasantries of the evening. But I need to write this review and hope that the bistro improves. You can't charge your customers $34.80 for that piece of 200 g ribeye that I had. I am sure your chef can do better.

another day of celebration, was thinking to try something new. came here for its keto burger, wondering how it would be - its indeed like a burger without the bread. ordered the Buffalo wings, it's too spicy for me. Squid, a bit of surprise, quite good. The place is more for beer or wine, chilling with friends.
