Great food and lovely ambiance with a string quartet playing in the courtyard. the food was excellent as well although we had to wait quite a bit and the service was a bit off as they didn't know what table to serve what order to. wasn't that crowded so not sure why that happened but we enjoyed the food and the evening very much and will go back again in the future. very reasonable as well.

Everything was perfect. The setting of a very quaint older home, the extremely fresh and well prepared food (there’s no salt, pepper or other seasoning in the table and there was absolutely no need for any.) the impeccably clean dining area and the friendly staff made this the perfect special evening.
