An unpleasant experience. We rather foolishely splurged on a sumptuous dinner, food was not good, and we had to beg for a glass of tap water, which we were eventually denied. On top of it all we had to wait for more than half an hour for one of the desserts. In our despair we asked for the bill, which occasioned an agressive response from the waitress, who pressured us to take the dish (which was not yet served) because it is our responsibility. She went as far as arguing that the menu states that one has to wait 15 minutes for the dessert. We asked her to show us where is that written in the menu, sadly it was not there). We had to invest an unexusable amount of time to get this dessert off... View menu
