Excellent spot for first dinner in town. Nice outdoor space and cozy indoor dining…read more They do have menus in English, however, we didn't opt for the revised menu. Started with a nice large Radler and a coke. Service was excellent and patient. We made it thru the first day in DE with a good meal before crashing from jet lag.

So, just FYI, if you ever wanted to give this restaurant a try do your damn reservation. I am a globetrotter and I understand reservations are preferred but when you travel it is impossible to do reservations unless it is a super fancy restaurant and you planned it way ahead of time.
