    Last night was crowded on Saturday night. We arrived there for drinking with Friends, there was one man who arranged the table outside around 10pm was ask us if we could wait for a little bit for table for 2 queued more, we said no problem. We standed there for 25mins and clearly he could see us waiting. Then when our queue arrived, he passed that table to another group next to us. The reason just because we didn't wait behind the sign of waiting!!!...... well, I could see if he worked in military base, I would understand. But this is too much and service job has to come with flexible sometimes and how he respond to the client suppose to be more polite with nice reaction. It's just ridiculous how he reacted to me and my friends. DOMMAGE !!! he should learn when to be compromise in his job and more humble. Then we left and went to MAD CLUB, the staff there even bring us to the roof top with full hospitality and class!!👍

    The service here was incomprehensible, they seated us and took such a long time to take our order for drinks, but when I got up to give it to the bar myself, the waiter immediately came up to me to tell me to sit down, and took another five minutes to take our order. The same thing happened when we wanted the bill. We ordered a margarita for 15 francs and it was basically just a shot of tequila with some lime, and an order of fries that was supposed to come with sauces but it was so little sauce. This place was weird and I would not recommend it.

    Delicious food and very very nice staff (especially the blond guy who served me and my mum). They gave us blankets since we were cold outside and let me practice my broken french by waiting patiently until I finished ordering.

    Staff is friendly and the place has a very good vibe to it. They have a huge terrace up front, a smaller one in back and space inside too. They have a huge list of cocktails (about 50!), my favourite of which is the Lemon Pie. They also serve food at midday and at night. Overall the experience is great, the prices are a little steep though, but it's not unusual for the neighbourhood.

    Mixed feelings, the restaurant is kinda OK-ish by lack of a better option in the direct vicinity after 09:30 PM. Atrocious auto tuned french rap doesn’t sit well with the asian inspired atmosphere. Staff was friendly, unfortunately food was nothing to write home about. You can safely forego the bland and overpriced appetiser plate. Good potential but the kitchen has to seriously upgrade its game, there’s only so far location and friendliness can get you when you’re in the business of feeding people :) Sorry but I probably wouldn’t return.

    Takes forever to get service and then the manager was mad that we didn't like waiting for a long time and started arguing that it wasn't that bad.

    Pub and asian restaurant in the lausanne flon area . The food is decent but it wont blow your mind with flavors like a proper asian restaurant. They got good drinks and shisha which they are famous for .

    Food was ok. My curry chicken was a little bit bland. Had fried chicken for appetizer - very tasty. Service was fast. We went on a rainy Sunday night. Nice ambiance.

    Poor service. Black male waiter seemed like he had better things to do. Barely greeted & said I must sit wherever. Unhelpful with explaining menu & shisha options.

    We came here for drinks. Thank God we didn't have dinner as the service was excruciatingly long and this was a Thursday night. It took them about 20 minutes to serve us 2 glasses of wine and a bottle of water. 😒 The guy who served us wasn't very pleasant either and gave me an attitude when asked if we could pay by card. I give a star only for the heated terrace.

    Good atmosphere in the middle of the city. Nice area with lots of different bars and restaurants.

    Great place in Fion area for drinks and bar food, They have also main courses but having tried them have to be honest that they are not up to standards of what we expected. The staffs are friendly and very nice indeed. The main courses need to be improved both in terms of taste as well as presentation. The atmosphere is perfect for sitting drinking and talking in groups.

    Wanted to have lunch with hubby & one of our daughter. We saw the menu (wanted to have meat) and dinner was opened as from 19h on the lovely terrace. We ordered drinks (had to wait to get the drinks menu) and upon receiving the food menu we were informed (!) That kitchen wasn't open till 7.30 and we had to check the tapas menu! There was just a couple things but we saw the tartare which we would have ordered but we were kindly informed that the tartare was a no-no and same for the jalapeño... but we could have a vegan??? Dish ??? We left 'cos we wanted MEAT!!! And please be aware that on the ground floor it was written on a cardboard "dinner as from 19h" which was great as we planned to see a movie... So disappointed! We went to Tartares & co just a bit further (terrace not so nice but lovely service and LOTS of meat and very fast <3).
