Really good food. Fondue, stroganoff, and schnitzel with mushroom butter sauce pasta. The owner was really friendly and also runs a b&b business. Been running restaurants for 20 years. The hospitality was very good here. Highly recommend!

The owner is very kind and mailed me Cassia’s stuffed cat back across continents! The food and the room are good but her kindness and honesty are the best! God bless!
