Despite not having a reservation, our group of four snagged a great table in the stylish dining room with cove-shaped ceilings and centuries-old oil paintings.
We quickly ordered a bottle of a nice 2015 Chilean red and got down to enjoying the ambience while perusing the menu.
We ordered a delicious appetizer of Grilled Shrimp with, of all things, a Mexican mojo sauce. Two of us also chose a pair of their soup offerings.
For entrees, two of us ordered the popular Baked Breaded Sole while another chose another fish alternative...the Grilled Zander w/ potatoes and veggies. Our fourth colleague picked the Rolled Turkey with asparagus and roasted potatoes.
Our meals were right on the mark and were crafted with noticeably fresh ingredients.
The only thing dragging the rating down to 3.5 stars was the difficulty we had in flagging down our waiter when we noticed a small crack in one of our wine glasses. Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue and remember you are a guest in another's country...3 Stars.
