Je sais pas si c'est toujours les mêmes personnes qui tiennent l'établissement. Depuis le temps que j'y suis allée. Toujours eu un superbe accueil !

ça fait + de 20 ans que j'y vais, jamais déçu; ambiance conviviale; contacts aisés et agréables; tous le personnel très sympa et très pro. ; distrayant, décor rétro. (pour les "footeux": 3 TV judicieusement disposées); un excellent lieux pour se retrouver dans le calme sans inopportuns; ce genre d'endroit ce compte sur les doigts d'une main. Merci à tous

Ne manquez pas les planches... Elles sont délicieuses. Perso je ne suis pas un amateur d'irish coffee mais ils sont préparés a l'ancienne et ça veut le détour visiblement.
