Nice inviting, cozy, romantic atmosphere. Service was good awful. Nelson has wonderful Bohemian vibes, and among small cities they've got some of the most balanced chakras around. Still, the good vibes seem to inflate the heads of young wait staff, who seem to this old miser a bit aloof in attitude and needing a dose of hustle. You can be friendly and move fast at the same time people. We waited 10 minutes for a greet, 5 for water, another 15 for our order, then a full 25 for the actual food. Whoof. Soured this old miser's good vibes I can tell you that! Still, kitchen staff saved the day and the food was on the bleeding point of on point.

So on the chance, I phoned them and asked them to create from a selection of the best of the Charcuterie with a few baguettes and deliver them to my daughter nearby.
