My grandma is really hard hearing so we asked for the table with the least amount of noise and ended up in a private 'room'. For once my grandma could actualy hear the conversations at the restaurant. The criminal theme of the restaurant continious in the menu. they gave all the dishes a criminal name. For example the spare ribs are called 'behind bars.' the food was amazing and the staff is really friendly. the only smal thing i noticed that it took one hour for the starter to arrive.

The service, the food, the ability to see into the kitchen and watch as the dishes were being prepared...everything was great. My husband had the standard 3 course lunch special while I had the vegetarian version, and we were both very pleased. The three course menu actually had an extra course of several tiny appetizers before the first course, as well, which was an excellent tasting of different unique items. The ratatouille (main course for today's vegetarian lunch) was definitely my favorite, though!

A friend and I wanted to try out their desserts long after busy dinner times, only two tables were taken, the rest of the restaurant was empty. But when we asked where we could sit down, the waitress simply told us we couldn't occupy a table just for dessert (btw, nowhere on the website did it say that there was such a rule) and when we told we wanted to drink something as well, she took her time to only say 'fine'. She then did not show us a table, but simply walked off to other customers. Of course we left that horrible place immediately, wishing her a good evening. She couldn't even bring herself to wish us a good evening back when we left.

My father likes to receive advice on what to drink, and when we were asked if we wanted an aperitif my dad simply asked "what would you suggest to us?" . In a tiny place without menu on drinks where the owner pride himself to welcome customers in his "home" we received the elegant answer of " am I suppose to tell you what to get now?" Worst first impression I ever had. My dad certainly knew what to get, but without a menu we just wanted to hear what the owner had to offer and to give us some idea...we went for a classic prosecco. Also, it looks all fancy (the tiny place is indeed divinely decorated and is full of personality) but the food served is not worth the price. It seems to be serving a mix of French cuisine with a twist....or whatever - but it's really not the best food I had ( definitely not for that price range!). But the overall service ruined it. Quite snobbish.
