We arrived to find that the restaurant had shut down. From having conversations with other people locally to the area, we were told that the restaurant has been closed for around a month. This is totally unacceptable, especially on the most important evening of the year for a couple. You need to take this restaurant off your listings.

They must have forgotten to update their opening hour, but no one called either.

Great decor, great service, great food, great location right on the main town square. A small menu done very well. The highlight was the short rib... I've paid twice as much for the same dish that's half as good elsewhere. A triumph.

                                                                                                                  Is this helpful?
