Pricey for what you get. After all it is just basically a bar. What irritated me is the 5% added (optional if you request it to be removed - that would be uncomfortable to ask for) to help with cost of living. Just add it to your prices. This is just another stealth charge. Sorry but this kind of approach to gouging customers just turns me off. Last time I will be visiting. Charge what you have to charge and pay your staff a living wage. If you can’t do that from the prices you are charging then you have an issue.

I ordered the braised short ribs and was served a lump of charcoal with barely cooked vegetables. However, they didn't charge me for it. My friend shared her delicious steak salad with me. It was perfect. So, one foul, and one home run. I will try again.
