In its glory days this place was indeed a hotel restaurant; today it 's only a restaurant....A fairly large place which was virtually empty when I visited for dinner only one table occupied). So I was prepared for a ho hum dinner, and since this is pretty much the only game in town for dinner and certainly the only one open that night) I resigned myself to a forgettable evening. All this by way of introduction. I had a very pleasant meal, served by the owner who 's husband is the chef; it seems to be a two person operation). The quality of the meals was much higher than I expected the chef clearly does make an effort to produce something a bit special and he succeeds. The menu is reasonably traditional with some interesting offerings in the daily fixed menu, which I had. The service was pleasant and personable. There was no problem with having cheese instead of the dessert which was proposed as part of the menu, and a second glass of the, quite good, red wine served from a just opened bottle) was offered to go with the cheese. Admittedly, with only two tables to serve, one should expect good service! The bill for a three course menu, 2 glasses of wine, and coffee came to Euro 29. I never can understand how a place like this could survive, and it does seem as if its days might be numbered due to lack of business to support it. That would be a shame, since it really is better than you might expect.
