We ordered a bottle of wine, and the waiter, who was very rude to my friend Jesse when he had asked…read morefor change ("UM, I am NOT a bank!") screwed up the order and gave us two glasses instead. This ended up being fortuitous, as the wine was not drinkable! The mojito I ordered before was probably the worst mojito I've ever had as well. The rude waiter disappeared for long stretches and acted as if he couldn't be bothered. The place itself is crowded, too-brightly lit, loud and smoky from the opened doors with smokers hanging about. A tourist trap, and just quite awful. AVOID!!

Only the British sandwich and the salad. the service was "questionable": we asked if we can have the menu (sandwich, salad, dessert, drink) and the told us no for an inexplicable reason. My friend asked for the yogurt and he was told they don't have it anymore, but then while we were eating a group arrived and they all got served the yogurt and we saw a massive yogurt box! The food was ok and the price was fair. The desserts are in bid portions. Extra star for the design and the fact that it warmed us in a very cold day!
