An interesting hodgepodge of international cuisine in a colonial-era house, uniquely decorated with bric-a-brac from several generations of antique hunters. Strange wall hangings compete with a bevy of international flags (and nature videos) for your attention. A pleasant garden in the back is a nice place to wait for your next bus to arrive. Owners are obsequious yet pleasant.
