What a stealth surpise. This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten it. The food is simple but incredibly tasty and well prepared. The service is amazing. For me this is a restaurant of superlatives. It was pretty empty at lunch and open all day. I liked it so much I went two days in a row so I could try different things on the menu. Highly recommended
