Love the Sunday Suppers here. Great staff create convivial informal atmosphere. Goulash was unexpectedly on bone roasted to meltingly tasty with red peppers. Lemon cheese cake entirely decadent.

terrific food - we don't eat meat so the chef made a special main dish for us - lovely service and excellently friendly reception by staff. Lovely to have this just down the road from us - a real local bistro.

The staff were very nice, and the ambiance, including the food, was good. If you want a quiet table, ask for a bench
