I ate there a few times when they were recently opened but found the food consistently disappointing and so have not been back. I see, however, that they have a huge number of very favourable tripadvisor reviews such that they are one of the favourites in town. Have they improved that much or should I learn to be sceptical of tripadvisor reviews?
I've been wondering about this as well, as we had a similar experience when it first opened. We found the food and plating only 'ok' - what threw me off were the teens behind the bar chatting away and the owner(?) speaking to them in a language I didn't understand. I think supporting family-run restaurants are great (as I grew up in one myself) but I guess it didn't match my expectations to the type of restaurant I thought it was. But maybe it deserves another try?
