“Die Show und die Getränke sehr gut. Service leicht überfordert aber verständlich denn was Sitzordnung angeht gibt es da nichts. Leider super eng , wie auf dem Bild zu sehen einen Tisch hatten wir auch nicht also das Ambiente was man erwartet bekommt man leider nicht es ist eher 7 Stühle Rücken wie bei Tetris wenn man aufstehen will um auf s wc zu kommen. Schade sehr auf Masse gemacht als auf Klasse. Aber Show war gut.”
