Mixed reviews highlight the highs and lows of dining at this establishment. Complaints about slow service, noise levels, lack of basic amenities, and inconsistencies in food and drinks are countered by rave reviews praising the food quality, unlimited menu options, and delightful atmosphere. Despite a few hiccups, the highlight for many diners seems to be the variety and taste of the Balkan cuisine offered. Patrons recommend trying the unlimited small plates and cocktails option for a fulfilling experience. Overall, whether or not to visit this restaurant may depend on personal preferences and tolerance for potential service shortcomings.
