Most Disliked
While most reviews are glowing, some diners mention a short wait time for freshly cooked meals during busy hours, though many agree it’s worth it for the quality. A few guests have commented on the limited indoor seating, suggesting that it may feel cramped during peak times. Noise levels can rise when the restaurant is particularly busy, which might detract from the overall experience for some diners. Additionally, while the menu offers a variety of options, those in search of more international cuisine might find the offerings quite traditional. However, the focus on quality and freshness tends to outweigh these concerns.
