From what I found, I guess it is technically okay to use, as you can buy food and drinks here. However, this may be the only restaurant I would recommend visiting and <em>not<\/em> eating the food. Not only is the meal mediocrity perfected, but, and this was a new experience for me, it\u2019s quite difficult to eat when you\u2019re in a state of shock.
