I never write reviews on website, but this one I couldn’t just slip through. I always pass by this restaurant in Venice but I never really gave much thought to it. However....This time they had a HUGE sign in front saying they have “lunch specials” with inviting low rates. I decided why not? and gave it a go.....I sat inside and when I asked the waitress about the lunch special, she said it’s not available. Confused, I asked her: “Why is there a huge sign at the front about lunch specials then if it isnt available?” She gave me this dirtiest look and in a really rude tone she said “its just not available sir”......so okay, I didn’t want to go on a full on debate about false advertising so I decided to order the food on their regular menu instead.....There were only 2 tables occupied at the time I was here but it took my order over 30 minutes to arrive. Talk about slow service. Then the food came.....and it was meh. The corn and carrots were extremely salty, and the mashed potato was definitely not worth the additional 60 pesos since it was extremely tiny and seemed like it was made from one of those “instant mashed potato” packets. The ribs were okay. Nothing special. Definitely not worth 400 pesos, that I’m sure of.Then I wanted to bill out....but it was extremely hard to catch the waiter’s attention because they kept chatting at the back together with the kitchen crew at the service window...so I paid my bill, and to top it all off, they gave me a 5 pesos change that consisted of 25 centavo coins. Ugh.TL;DR - False advertising, rude waitress, long waiting time, plain food, and horrible service. Would not recommend.

I love their fish & chips...lightly battered and yet so crispy! Even the open-faced sandwich is sooo good.i will definitely comeback to try other food listed on the menu☺️😍😊
