Food complaints show up too
Not all feedback is positive on food quality and cleanliness.
A couple of reviews raise strong concerns about the kitchen and food handling, including claims of unclean kitchen conditions and issues with meals. Another comment of dissatisfaction centers on food safety and quality, which contrasts with the many reviews that describe meals as enjoyable. If food is a key factor for your decision, these concerns are worth weighing alongside the positive dining feedback.
