I tried this restaurant because of positive references. It was a Friday evening around 9 pm and about 75% of tables were empty. To start with, it took unusually long ~10 minutes for the waiter to come to my table. I communicated my order at the first contact with the waiter to speed up things a bit. After more than 30 minutes waiting for my order, I decided that I should try this restaurant at some other point in time.
