    We always eat here, the food is great and our usual waiter is very good. We will be booking again for Feb/March and in Nov as well. We had an 8pm booking and the the restaurant thinned out a bit but our main took 40-50 mins to come. Last time we visited it was like that but it didn't spoil the evening.

    Alles in Allem war es ein schöner Abend mit sehr freundlichem Personal und liebevoller guter Küche. Lediglich ein Punkt war unzureichend: Der Wein-Service. Zahlreiche Weine aus 2022 und 2023 waren entgegen der Weinkarte nicht erhältlich. Unser bestellter Chenin Blanc wurde ohne Kommentar vom Jahrgang 2024 statt 2023 serviert. Gefragt nach einer Alternative wurden nehrere Weine angeboten, sie seien "wirklich gut". Die Qualität konnte mit keinem Wort beschrieben werden. Das war schwach! Das Personal ansonsten sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

    Food was good but pricey for what you get compared with other restaurants in the area.
