Room smelled clean and disinfected, Staff was excellent. Enjoyed giving the restaurant waitress a hard time, all in good fun. FYI I recommend the octopus dish, portions are very generous. Restarant manager Annie, saw the avocados I purchased were never going to ripen on time and on her own initiative without saying anything to me bought me ripe avocados. What a nice gesture. Thats going over and above your reponsabilities. Thank you Annie.
