The food at this restaurant is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Be sure to try the specials of the day - it's definitely worth it!
The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and this restaurant is a great place to visit!
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.
The food is good and did not take long to prepare.
The food here was absolutely delicious! What a hidden gem! The owners were around and super friendly. The service was great. We were glad we stumbled upon this restaurant when another place turned us down. The decor might be off-putting to some (eccentric/colourful/busy), but don't let it deter you.
