Customers have praised the exquisite food and service, describing it as the best dining experience they've had in a long time. The restaurant's small size, with around 15 tables, creates a tasteful and elegant atmosphere, although some customers noted the lack of background music. The menu, while limited, features unique and beautifully plated options, with portion sizes that are adequate. The prices are a bit high for the small town, but the outstanding food quality makes it a fair value.
