Upon entering, it is a very simple restaurant with very little visible seating. We chose to sit in one of the booth/ottoman setups. Although it was slightly dark inside, the restarant did not seem creepy, but rather homey. They gave us the early bird menu to choose from even though it was close to 9PM when we entered (I suppose anything before midnight is early?? I don't know). For 17.50 euros we could choose from three categories on the menu: starter, entree and dessert.

Most everyone went for the braised lamb. It was so delicious! The flavor infused meat just fell right off of the bone. I also want to say that the potato salad might have been in the top five of salads that I've eaten in my lifetime. Wayne ordered the fried brie which was a calorie-fest, but worth it! I'm thinking of trying it at home sometime. The tomato relish nicely offset the saltiness of the brie. By the time we got around to dessert, we were unable to put much of a dent into it because we were stuffed. Here are the dishes that I actually ordered for myself.
