The food is fantastic. The service is hot and miss, some servers are fantastic, others treat you like you are a bother. There are bugs and bug remains all over, not unlike other rustic food establishments, but at list, make an effort. The music box is way too loud for a restaurant where one is trying to have a conversation.
