The food here was absolutely delicious! What a hidden jewel! The owners were round and super friendly. The service was great. We were glad that we stumbled over this restaurant when another place stopped us. The decor could be on some (eccentric/colourful/busy), but do not let it deter.
When we arrived for our 6:45 PM reservation (as 7:00 PM was fully booked), we noticed many empty tables. By 7:00 PM, however, several walk-in customers were seated. The young waitress from Zimbabwe was well-trained in reciting the menu, which she did proficiently. Unfortunately, when we asked her some questions about the dishes, she was unable to provide any answers. The wine service was lacking; we were given cheap glasses from Kleine Zalze while other tables were served with nicer stemware. We weren't offered a taste of the wine bottle, and when we requested an ice bucket, it took a while for it to arrive.
