We are in town for a month and are thrilled we found this little restaurant. My husband is European and found the food to be authentic and delicious. The owners and two of their adult children were there and they were all helpful amd friendly.

What a wonderful gem to stumble on in Orange County. There is something special about a family run restaurant — the nourishment goes beyond the food. Everything was delicious, especially the schnitzel with mushroom sauce. And the owner was so gracious accommodating our two newborns.
