in the last weekThe food was delicious, but unfortunately the younger waiter with the goatee wasn't very good. He hardly spoke at all and took a very long time. Another waiter with a beard, however, was very friendly and made the experience much more enjoyable.

in the last weekWe had lunch here and ordered the fish platter and steak. The food was delicious. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. However, the service definitely needs improvement; a little more attention and a smile from the young waiter wouldn't have gone amiss. The location is right on the street, but you can also sit inside in air conditioning. We would come back. It's not quite five stars this time.
