Söimme viitisen päivää sitten todella herkulliset salaatit. Lisäksi mukavaa musiikkia ja ystävällistä palvelua sekä upeat maisemat joelle! Mukava taukopaikka kun pysähdyimme Äänekoskella.

Mukava paikka pysähtyä vaikka veneellä tai tulla lasten kanssa leikkipuistolle. Asiakaspaikkoja noin 100 ja hyvä musiikki sopivalla volyymillä luo mukavaa tunnelmaa. Täällä viihtyy kesäpäivää viettämässä vaikka välillä uiden viereisellä hiekkarannalla.

Pieni pysähdy matkalla. Lapset pääsivät pulahtamaan todella kirkkaassa vedessä! Isot kahvikupit, herkullinen ja oikein sopivan kokoinen ruokainen salaatti. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Kauniit maisemat joista nauttia. Suosittelen lämpimästi vaikka hieman päätieltä joutuikin poikkeamaan.
