It s like a canteen that serves good food, but ten times more expensive than what it should be. This restaurant just capitalises on its fame. Eating here feels like being part of an industrial mechanism that is aimed at maximising revenue. You are greeted by an army of waiters who are in charge for allocating customers to different seating areas. Tables are crammed in every space in order to get as many people seated as possible at once. Hence you find yourself in an incredibly crowded and loud room, but there s nothing charming or authentic about the feeling, despite the beautiful decor. The service is super fast, you almost have no time to breathe between one dish and the next. The waiters don t even look at you. The food is really good, but overall the experience is forgettable, as you feel like you re just another cow being milked in a battery.
