    Wonderful good and very creative menu. The smoked trout latkes were amazing with an incredibly generous portion of perfectly cooked trout. The vegetable tagine was full of Moroccan spices and the almonds were an especially nice addition. My husband & our friend had the pork chop and fried chicken and enjoyed their food as well. The chocolate malted ice cream was meltingly delicious.

    Hidden gem with a relaxed atmosphere and family vibe service. My wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and had such a good time. The food was excellent. Not prentenious. Simple fresh ingredients cooked perfectly. We loved that the Calamari was grilled not fried. The homemade noodles were soooo good. The Lamb was amazing. Thanks for such a great meal!
