Erg gezellig gezeten en met prima muziekkeuze een borrel gedronken. Uit privé voorraad nog wat te knabbelen erbij gekregen. Prima sfeer en we hebben ons goed vermaakt.

Ik was er nog nooit geweest en ik woonde er jarenlang vrijwel om de hoek. Gisteravond reunië lagere school daar gehad. Uitstekende service, leuk team, goede sfeer. Kruising tussen bruine kroeg en bistro, erg leuk. Saté was heerlijk, de gamba's ook hoorde ik van de medetafelgenoten. Personeel zorgde steeds voor een schone, opgeruimde tafel; kwam ook regelmatig, zonder opdringen, vragen of er behoefte was aan navulling. Geen lullige glaasjes wijn. Eerlijke prijzen. Ik was er van 18:00-middernacht (50+); het was er rustig, maar vanaf middernacht komt de jongere generatie binnen, wat gelijk aangeeft dat dit etablisiment geschikt is alle leeftijden. Aanrader! Ga hier zeker vaker komen.
