                                  Wonderful drinks and meal, impeccable service! So impressed with the level of service!! Dips appetizer was soo good and plentiful. We ordered the salmon and halibut and both were really tasty and perfectly cooked with delicious pairings of veggies, risotto/rice and sauces. Highly recommend!!

                                  My mussels were good and the baguette with them was delicious. Everyone else had the schnitzel, which they seemed to enjoy. My husband said the asparagus and mashed potato sides were particularly tasty. Nice beer selection. Only complaint was noise level. I look forward to being able to eat outside this summer.
