Expect the portions to be generous and to leave well fed. They have a full drink menu including draft, wine, cocktails and bottled beer. The staff does not rush the customers, so you can relax with a large meal and long conversation. If that’s not your thing, you can order a drink and try some of the many appetizers like calamari or hummus.
