"Great spot for a hearty post hike meal! Had the schnitzel with ham, cheese and tomato and it did not disappoint! Our server (who I think was the owner) was funny and attentive."

"We had lamb stew and fried steak. The portion was quite large, taste was ok. Staff were super nice and friendly. It opens whole afternoon, super convenient"

"Went at peak dinner time and waited quite a while. There isn't really an orderly q system so you hv to remember yr spot in the q. Wasn't feeling too well so ordered the lamb empanadas which and also the lentil stew with red chorizo which were both good. The lentil is good for 2 to share and is the perfect hot dish.
It was too much for 1 as there is also the bread that comes before that. Go early if you can to avoid waiting."
