"We chose to visit on a Wednesday to take advantage of the 2-for-1 pizza offer for Orange customers, which also included 2-for-1 on doughballs, making lunch very affordable. I particularly loved the vibrant color scheme and the summery vibe of the restaurant. The bright plastic glasses were appealing, but I did notice that they didn’t appear very clean. The doughballs were tasty, although the garlic butter was quite heavy and could have benefited from another flavor, as it felt somewhat bland. I had already used my cutlery for the starters, so it would have been nice to receive clean utensils for the pizzas, which weren't pre-cut. While the pizzas were decent, they didn't stand out as anything special. Midway through our meal, however, there was an incident that disrupted the experience; a waitress tripped in the restaurant, leaving her visibly shaken. Following that, it seemed there were some issues back in the kitchen. We even overheard the restaurant manager exclaiming, "What is actually wrong with this restaurant?"—a moment that echoed across the dining area and created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Additionally, I noticed the manager handling paperwork in large piles on one of the dining tables, which detracted significantly from the restaurant's ambiance and felt quite unprofessional. These hiccups seemed to stem from typical challenges faced during a restaurant's initial weeks of operation. While I would have rated this experience one star due to the overall discomfort, I did appreciate the apologetic and kind demeanor of the waitress, who remained gracious despite her distress from the fall. Overall, it was a disappointing lunch."
