Came here for the first time for lunch. This is a tough one because I really enjoyed the food, unfortunately all the other little annoyances, made it not the best over all experience. First off, our server was uninterested in serving us. She wasn't rude but certainly not engaging. We ordered tea. We got a cup half filled with water that didn't even cover the tea bag. My friend had to ask for more hot water. I was there to catch up with two friends, very hard to hear each other as the music was SO loud, it was very annoying! We ordered a couple things to share, the Labneh spread and roasted broccoli. Both very good! Unfortunately our main meals came before we were done eating our appetizers...this is my #1 pet peeve at any restaurant!! There we were grabbing our cutlery, putting plates on top of plates to make room for the main entree. Ridiculous...Obviously felt rushed and should have received new cutlery, but never did. Now, here's something new...it was nearly impossible to use my fork!! The handle was so skinny, it kept slipping out of my hand as I was trying to cut my food. Never experienced that before. Both friends ordered the Beef bolognaise and said it was good but that it was luke warm at best. I had the albacore tuna and shrimp. Very tasty but was served under soggy bread, which I couldn't cut with my skinny fork! I was faced toward the window, it was sunny and too bright, very annoying and I didn't see any blinds that would help the situation. The plant that was beside us, was in my friends face and there was a fly that kept annoying us. I found the bathrooms too dark especially with the black toilet seats, forget about checking out your make up...can't see anything. Loved the ambiance of the chandeliers and plants though and had a great outdoor patio. I probably wouldn't come back for lunch, however, I think it might be better saved for dinner/drinks with girlfriends. I'll try it again in the evening and see what happens.
