    What a find! Unpretentious and beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble for the smiling staff. We had pepper fillets and they were delicious. Never heard of the wines and was blown away. Tasting is a must! Hidden gem for sure.

    Dear Janine, Thank you for your review when it came through I was smiling as this is exactly what we strive for "unpretentious", must feel friendly and homely too! We love it and we proud of it without being stiff or too formal but a good balance, so thank you so much for your kind and beautiful words, it really filled out hearts! Wishing you a beautiful August. Kindest regards, Nadia
