Negative experience: The food is ok, but the place (especially upstair) is ugly. It need a full renovation and it could be a cool place.
Fantastic experience: Fajne miejsce. Impreza bożonarodzeniowa świetnie się tu udała. Jest sporo miejsca biorąc pod uwagę górne piętro. Dół z otwartą kuchnią robi święte wrażenie. Tam też odbył się początek imprezy jak i jej koniec. Góra zmieniła się w jadłodajnię.
