    The food and ambience was incredible. The drinks were excellent. The wait staff did not speak any English which was a little surprising but Google Translate worked really well. There was an issue with pricing not matching menu price when we received the bill but the manager corrected. Nice experience over all and something o would recommend for anyone to experience At least once. Very unique and incredible food!!!
