Afgelopen woensdag hier gaan eten en echt top! De lamskroontjes waren op subliem niveau klaargemaakt: perfect bereid en enorm lekker. Ook de service was uitstekend en bijzonder vriendelijk, zowel bij de reservatie als tijdens het eten.

Als afsluiter kregen we nog twee huisgemaakte limoncello’s. Een heel fijne attentie! Zeker een aanrader, wij komen graag terug.
