When we finally placed our orders, chef turned on the oven and started to cook. While the steak and duck breast entrees were perfectly fine, the pasta dishes were an overcooked mess and all the dishes with vaguely middle eastern origin (Falafel) came out seriously flawed. It seemed to me that everything was happening in a reduced way, the one good thing was the professional service that managed to stay cheery throughout the rather depressing atmosphere.
