Our meal was so delicious that we ate there twice. The menu is several pages long and everything we ordered was superb. The fresh-from-the-lake grilled trout is amazing and we paired it with homemade spinich and cheese ravioli, which is one of their specialties. It's a happy place, full of bustling waiters doting on partons enjoying a fine meal. It's not dark and quiet but could still be a romantic evening. And it was also the least expensive meal we ate--truly a steal of a great meal.

The service was very good. Very attentive. Thankfully (as always) that the staff could communicate well in English. The Truffle pasta was fabulous. No complaint... read more The service was very good. Very attentive. Thankfully (as always) that the staff could communicate well in English. The Truffle pasta was fabulous. No complaints.
