The hosts are making you feel like you were dining in their own living room. All dishes were excellent, I recommend the goose liver as a starter or the filet Americain.

The prices seemed pretty high. The noise level was reasonable, but the temperature was quite hot. It's open from 17:30 onward, with no specific closing time... which was good, since they certainly took their time serving us. From ordering dessert to arrival of dessert was at least half an hour.

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.

I had a very good tuna carpaccio as start, served very nicely and very fresh. The dish was actually very big. My main course was wild deer fillet garnish and with red wine sauce.
