The staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is great. Especially the tapas type things. The beer is great. The ambiance and layout are beautiful. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The bathrooms are clean. Make a reservation or get in early cause it will be tough to find space otherwise - any night of the week.
It was truly a wonderful place, and staying on the open terrace felt like a dream. I had lager beer—quite refreshing with a great aftertaste, and I ended up drinking four pints.🙂 However, the food was a bit disappointing. The portions were large, but the seasoning was quite strong. In particular, the beef had a very sweet sauce, which felt a bit off.
This is a relaxed restaurant with an outdoor vibe. The menu is quite simple but the food was tasty and fresh. Next time I will have to go for brunch, those options looked good. Ample guarded parking, which is unusual in this location.
This restaurant is placed in a very beautiful environment, excellent service and delicious food and a lot of different craft beers
