"Wonderful food (fried battered eggplant strips, honey and goat's cheese, lamb stew with masala sauce, rioja, coffee) happily served by Jessica. One mistake (ours) We ate outside on a cold day...warm, cozy and busier inside!
Anyway, excellent food. Thank you."

"Excellent food and the service was amazing. Our waiter gave wonderful recommendations for food suggestions for our group of 6.
Highly recommend coming here.
It is a bit noisy but that is only because a lot of people are here enjoying it as well!"

"Super cute location with beautiful decor. Our server was polite and friendly, and my chicken dish was amazing. Perfectly cooked, and the sauce and sweet potatoe fries went very well with it. Bonus points for having a lactose-free (and glutenfree) dessert on the menu and clearly indicating it. Would recommend!"
