It’s the kind of place where you can grab a coffee in the morning, work on your laptop with free Wi-Fi, or come back in the evening for a tapas plate and a drink.
The menu is where it really shines: Spanish tapas are fresh and flavorful, French dishes are executed well, and the German classics are hearty without being heavy.
