A week or two later an email informed me we had a table for four the next night.We arrived punctually at this small restaurant with room for about 25 guests and chose the ..read more

All this signage might give one the idea that this is a drinking place, which, of course, it is but it's also a place that serves fairly decent food at quite modest prices.  It's unpretentious with basic table settings  in a large open room with a central bar.
