The menu was somewhat limited, but I considered that a good sign that the food would be properly prepared and thought through. The hostess was a delight and...when I had a question about one of the food items the chef came out to answer (it was quince jelly). We were one of the first people there and the place was still empty except for one other person. I don't know how busy it might get later in the evening or weekends. We were both very satisfied with our meals and the cheeseboard was excellent. There are steps into the restaurant and also to the toilets.

Both dishes were accompanied by a variety of tasty and generous trimmings. The friendly female servers surprised me with a large amuse bouche of prosciutto and warm focaccia with olives and balsamic vinegar. The portion was so generous that I initially thought they had made a mistake with my starter. The overall quality of the food was excellent, especially considering the reasonable price.
