"We were in town for a conference and bagged on the plenaryreception to have a real dinner. This was close and got great reviews. First of all, the positive reviews already on this site are correct: it is a splendid little restaurant, with a creative menu and a very fine wine list. Because we had food that was a bit challenging to pick wines for my wife had the smoked duck and schnitzel, while I had the rabbit terrine and a schnitzel with saffroned risotto; we were at loggerheads about whether to get a red or a white, with me thinking that a sturdy north Italian white would be the better bet, we consulted the staff who served up a very fine Dolcetto, which worked very well.We arrived at early for Italy, and by the time our mains arrived, all the tables were filled. The noise level was OK and we could maintain a nice conversation without needing to raise our voices.The staff was very kind and considerate, but they appeared to be a bit shortstaffed for the Friday night crowd. The wine recommendation came minutes after our request for a consult. And my Borolobased dessert wine with bitters, yum! didn't arrive with dessert. In fact, I asked after it and it still did not arrive. Only when our staff was tallying up our bill was the mistake realized and they rushed the glass out to me. I'm glad they did. I think part of the problem is that a back waiter took the dessert order and it appears to have slid sideways. My Italian is virtually nonexistant although his English was a bit better. One can't really complain when dining on someone else's turf. The only real fault is that the staff was a bit frantic although very goodnatured.Excellent dinner"

"I have been on Tripadvisor for many years..due to covid and also very good friends of us who have serious health problems that we have hidden with regular, just a few times in the month now. because covid, clear, much has changed, both with customer setting and the necessity for the business in general to watch profit margin.sometimes run a very fine line, between volume and quality. as retired corporate regional manger that deals with corporates, I might be a little more qualified than the average, now often moaning and complaining client, who could not really run in all honesty the proverb in the brewery! I visited this place with my wife and 6 friends. a couple of old school friends on holiday from Australia and had an absolutely delightful evening, I had the most delicious fish and chips with us all, due to our late arrival..Citizen home had accidentally a 6 foot high schorn stone, part in our roof..so a good excuse too late!. all had main courses, without complaining, only lob, with a few with candy.2 flake wein and about 4 pints camp.plus a attentive and efficient waitress, without obtrusiw, along with brilliant companies, made for a great night. it is true to say above general critique commentary that menus have been trimmed..and to comment that in the rule this beautiful and quantum location is absolutely packed in the rule that on Wednesday, the 30th mai, when we visited, was sparsely populated.If they moan about it, then hardly the financial of the place.just the situation obviously post burden support them events like this or we will certainly lose them to mcdonalds type restaurants ughh. they can dinate fairly cheaply and have a great night with friends, as we, if they eat meaningfully, with a reasonable amount of alcohol. and enjoy the fayre such companies as this offer to the public. would certainly re-enter..staff and venue, for a good pub type evening, first class. this is a very attractive and beautiful old place where you can dine with friends. No.not in conjunction with the administration of anyone who manage this business.just a realistic customer, thankful for the employees, generally on the minimum wage, happy to support customers with a big night!"
