We booked a table for a quick lunch and arrived to find it rather quiet. We ordered the business lunch. On the plus side service was fast and attentive. The chicken schnitzel was very good, a well cooked and satisfying plate of food. The apple strudel looked as if it came out of a packet and tasted reminiscent of school dinner pudding. Overall the meal seemed good value, although when settling up a 12.5% service charge was added. There wasn't a great deal of atmosphere and in a way it felt like we were an inconvenience - an accountant type sat at one table with a computer and a company/security type sat at another table, eating a meal while surveying us from a distance and occasionally glaring. Our main server was very pleasant but another one at the bar exuded an impatient, cynical manner. All this would have probably felt fine if we were part of a larger group, visiting at a time when the place was busy and intent on having a beer or two.
