"I'm a typical dumb American abroad and the host/waitress (owner) took me in and I didn't realize it's most reservation, but put together a special dish because I don't eat pork (which is what there were making that day). They made fish and chips. I'm not a huge fan of fish, but I'll be damned if it wasn't delicious and I ate all the fish. All the food tasted really fresh and clean if that makes sense The lady used Google translate to communicate with me and made the whole experience wonderful. I don't leave reviews, but this was so exceptional that I felt compelled to do so."
