All the food was great with the exception of one dish, some kind of grain crêpe with mushrooms, which really had no flavor at all, and the mushrooms were sautéed, but still felt cold and uncooked, and the crêpe was filled only with mushrooms. There was no seasoning no vegetables no cheese no nothing. It was just a brown grain crêpe with I suppose sautéed mushrooms inside but that was it so that was very disappointing but everything else was great. It’s a unique little spot. The service was great. The waiter was outstanding.
