Went for a birthday dinner. Service and servers were outstanding. Lovely ambiance and quiet thought to be fair we were there very early evening. Oue sausage appetizer was delicious and a 5. I was slightly disappointed with the half roasted duck. It may be I am spoiled as we have eaten duck all over the world and the best duck I have had, the skin was crispy little to no fat with moist meat below. My duck dish though tasty did not have a crispy skin and the breast meat was somewhat dry. Dessert was classic apple taste and is was good. Overall good experience.
