У п'ятницю. Сиділи компанією — місця вистачило, ніхто не виганяв. Ціни за такий центр адекватні. Повернемось ще.

Місце непогане, але конкуренти поруч сильніші. Персонал ввічливий, просто дуже завантажений. Ціни трохи вищі за середні по району при звичайних порціях. Музика голосніша, ніж потрібно для розмови. Спробую ще раз через пару місяців.

Выбирали среди соседних вариантов, здесь лучше. Персонал вежливый, всё объяснили спокойно. Уложились по времени быстрее, чем планировали. Цены адекватные для такого уровня. Претензий нет.

Заскочили на одну: брали коктейлі, зробили міцно й акуратно. Від метро Площа Українських Героїв — буквально хвилина. У п'ятницю не протовпитися. Нормально, але нічого особливого.

Увечері після роботи: прийшли на живу музику, зіграли чесно, звук не перетягнутий. Вайфай є, пароль дають без питань. Раджу компанії.
