Set amid stunning gardens, the restaurant offers a pleasant ambience, though experiences vary significantly. While some diners rave about the delightful food, such as seafood linguine and pork belly, others express disappointment in food quality and service consistency, citing issues with menu discrepancies and poorly cooked dishes. The staff's politeness and efficient service receive praise, creating a welcoming atmosphere, but isolated incidents of rudeness have marred some visits. Despite these mixed reviews, many guests enjoy the scenic views and bright decor, and a return is in mind for those who have had positive dining experiences.
