    Gorgeous spot with a lovely atmosphere but sadly was met by a very unfriendly and unhelpful staff member who, when asked if they had a table for 4 - not only rolled her eyes and sighed before saying she would check after we mentioned we didn’t have a reservation - came back very short and brief to say. “Uhm no. Nothing.” When there were 5 empty tables. We don’t mind being turned away - it’s really just the eye rolling and unwilling attitude that was met. Won’t be back unfortunately as locals sadly.
