Expensive but so new, clean and beautiful. Fancy. A railroad track right behind. Charges for water. Restaurant wasn’t suitable for my son so he went across the road to a fast food. Restaurant could have compensated for a fly in my wine. They were kind but just changed the glass and gave less wine lol
