    Love lunching on the patio on a beautiful day! Also, it wasn't crowded, so my friend and I were able to linger after lunch to catch up.

    Very good service. Two of us had fish and chips; the batter was very greasy which is not how it should be.

    Terrific. Party of 3. Great table by the fireplace. Cocktails excellent. Appetizers and entrees very good - shout out to the mushrooms soup. Best wine list (including value) in Lafayette. We'll be back soon!

    There are a number of excellent dishes on their menu. Today I had the Coq a Vin which I enjoyed, and my husband had a mushroom pasta that he had for the first time and enjoyed it also.

    My favorite menu item pork snitzel in mustard sauce with red cabbage recently got even better with warm german potato salad instead of the tired plain fingerling potatoes. 5 stars!
