I can see why reviews would be poor being in such a tourist hot spot, and the bar did look chaotic. However the restaurant experience was absolutely flawless. Maybe we were lucky, we did book a few weeks in advance, but we were seated right at the edge, service was attentive, and food delicious. The lamb dish was superb, like an English roast dinner, but spicy! Wine perhaps a bit over priced but to be expected in this part of town.
