The potential of this place is great, but I was disappointed at check-in. I was not told that the restaurant was not really open! We could only order a main dish since the kitchen was closing early. That was a real shame as me and my husband were looking forward to a date night. I found the staff not very cute as well. I missed the warm feeling from other places, it was such a downer.
