    We sat outside the restaurant when eating, listening to birds and got the best sunlight. Even thou we were sitting far the waiter kept on coming to check on us

    Located outside of the city/town. This made it quiet and tranquil. The property was as advertised. Obviously it is an older style building and renovation to it can only be taken so far as to preserve its original look and feel.
