The food is ok, the wait staffs are the traveller type. But service is fast, suits for express lunch. A bit rowdy inside, need more soft furnishing to absorb the sounds.

We were worried when we saw how much food (express lunch for $20) there was that we would still be hungry. This wasn’t the case at all. The food was top quality for every dish and we left extremely full.

Food was delicious, try the fish tacos that was really really good! Drinks was good too, service was good but some of the girls had a such angry face that we got afraid to ask for anything else. Then at the end ask for tips like they been had done the best service ever???
