I never actually ate or drank here, wasn't permitted to do so by the owner/manager on duty, probably because I was speaking English to my friend as we walked in, and/or we weren't wearing the right pointy shoes and/or didn't park our motorcycles on the sidewalk like every other patron seems to. I have passed this restaurant again and again and told myself that I would like to try it as there is always a big crowd within, spilling out onto the sidewalk, smoking, drinking, laughing. But it seems you have to be up to the restaurant's snuff to get in. Though several others were having a drink at the bar--and had obviously been doing so for quite some time--we were told that the bar wasn't a bar, and that it was for patrons of the restaurant only. Living in the neighborhood as I do, and knowing this to be patently false, I told the owner/manager that I wouldn't forget how he just treated me and would make sure that as many people as possible would know about it. It was only then that my companion (an American who used to live in the neighborhood) told me that the same thing had happened to him before at this establishment. It's a shame because the place looks warm and inviting, but I would counsel potential patrons to be wary of the welcome you probably won't get.
