Ich war zum Mittagessen dort. Der Service war rasch und die Leute sehr freundlich. Das Lokal ist einladend. Das Gulasch war schmackhaft. Leider war es stark eingekocht und hatte darum kaum Sauce zu den Knöpfli, die ebenfalls ziemlich trocken waren. Die Salatsauce ist excellent, der Menue Blattsalat hatte die Frische jedoch bereits eingebüsst.
