    Just was just there and had the rudest most disrespectful experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant.

    La comida y el ambiente muy bueno. Los precios un poco excesivos. Pero realmente lo q me molestó es que en mitad de mi almuerzo la camarera me trae la cuenta. No había terminado de comer y me pregunta si quiero pagar a lo q conteste q no aun. 3 veces vino a preguntarme si quería pagar!! Muy molesto.

    The English Tea was very weak even after letting it steep, the Latte was decent. The staff was friendly and accommodating, when we walked in the music was blasting and they lowered it upon request. Having said that, we just ordered drinks and they came up to us 3 times within the span of 20 minutes to ask if we wanted food (we repeated three times we just wanted drinks). This was despite the fact that it was empty (perhaps there were four tables) so I don’t really understand the pressure to purchase food.
