Very nice menu, in the evening I was there… helpful suggestions on wine accompaniment for dishes…. Very friendly staff and food was great. Very nice “garden room” tables, which worked very well with the sunny evening, on my day of eating. Accommodation was very good and will probably return, for a longer stay, at some point
