How people describe it
Example excerpts
Nice atmosphere. The food is good, a little expensive and there's not much choice. It's also a bit cramped, there's not much room to move around.
Nice atmosphere. The food is good, a little expensive and there's not much choice. It's also a bit cramped, there's not much room to move around.
A very noisy setting, the tables a bit cramped, and a strong draft from the front door. The prices are reasonable, but the quality isn't great. The dishes are a bit cold, the steak is overcooked. The waiters are very busy, probably not enough of them. The humor is also a bit heavy-handed.
