Very quiet the evening we decided to eat. Asked if the bartender could put on some music to cut through the silence. Salad starter was nicely presented, fresh and tasty. My wife’s main course (filet) was cooked to order and delicious according to her. Unfortunately, my chicken main was a little dried out but the balance of the meal was very good. Portions were adequate. Overall good experience.

Unusual to have to ring a bell to get into the restaurant, but did add to the homely feeling of the restaurant. Food was excellent and the wine list had enough choices. Enjoyed the evening here, maybe because it was quiet as there were only a few other guests.
