"it is a wonderful place, with a magnificent vintage interior – a perfect environment for 7 o'clock silvester dinner. So imagine my disappointment when our booking of four by the main dining room was picked to the other guests, in the back into a zone locked in the winter garden. we were brought to our table while we sliding chairs, sidestepping babys sat on the floor and small children in dressed superheroes. the seating was uncomfortable with hard benches and the interior was made of carpets on walls and air conditioning systems. I was so disappointed that I wanted to go out there and then go out. but I was more disappointed with eating. the descriptions on the menu they have not prepared for the most appearing plates that are brought to the table. the food presentation was terrible. there was no effort to present or dress our appetizers as anything but the crooks of 'seasoned paste' on the plate. the mains were not better. both the chicken and the black mtswadi were boiled dry. the 'khinkali' their famous pleased dumplings were in the ground six pear-sized, white dumplings on a teller. the dumplings were so thick and stony that after your second feeling you could not go on. the bark in the Kharcho stew was hard and the nut sauce was exaggerated and spiced over. we were so disappointed by the starters and our network that we decided to skip only dessert, reduce our losses and leave. there is nothing fine about eating in this restaurant. if they 'fill' then the portions 't let them disappoint. but it is lacking the care, skill and presentation that they would expect from a menu with these price tags. the service was wonderful and the personal warm and friendly, but I was never so reluctant to pay my bill or leave a restaurant with so much ressentiment."
