thin walls limited menu
I must say, i wasn't thrilled with my stay. the soundproofing was nonexistent. I heard every cough and conversation from the neighboring rooms. also, the restaurant seemed to operate on a different plane of existence. My first three orders vanished into thin air. apparently, the kitchen had a secret menu only available to them.
