Excellent service, very prompt and friendly. The restaurant was very clean with open kitchen. I like the open space and it was well lit. I ordered the Wild Boar Ribs and that was very interesting please see photo. The steak only comes just the steak with no sides, so you would need to order a side dish if you want veggies.
