Our Service
-
We are not a fast food restaurant. However, we will get the orders to
you as fast as possible.
-
If you move tables after ordering, your order may
be delayed as we do not have a GPS on you.
-
Splitting itemized bills results in slower
service. During busy times, this may not be possible.
-
Children are great. Please keep them effectively
supervised for OHS reasons.
-
If you are pressed for time, during quite moments we
usually can accomodate your request.
If you want to eat in a hurry,
don't. It is bad for your health.

Friendly dogs are welcome, provided they are on a
leash. Water bowls are in the courtyard.
-
Tap water is available. Please help yourself at
the water station next to the cake fridge.
