I had the whispers and was sick three times after them. it might not be a good idea to have wein with them. I love sauvignon blanc absolutely, but the sauvignon blanc we had, which was about 35 euro for a bottle, was too smokey. we have all tasted different weeping and were not really taken with one of them! the one we liked most was the house white!

A hidden treasure to be found for private dining too! Loved it, and thank you!

Prior to confirming the booking, we took deliberate care to clarify — both by email and by phone with management — that the arrangement would be à la carte dining, not the €35 fixed menu. This point was explicitly addressed to avoid precisely the type of situation that ultimately occurred. On the day of the event, we arrived early to arrange the cake and coordinate final details before the guests’ arrival. At that time, we were informed that, due to the size of the group, only the fixed menu could be served. After discussion, the staff acknowledged that an internal communication error had taken place. However, despite recognizing that the mistake originated on their side, no viable alternative or meaningful remedy was offered. With guests about to arrive, canceling or relocating was not a realistic option. As a direct consequence of the restaurant’s failure to honor what had been clearly confirmed in advance, we were compelled to absorb an unplanned expense of approximately €700. A few drinks and desserts were later offered as a courtesy. While noted, this gesture did not meaningfully address the financial impact nor the principle at stake: a confirmed agreement was not upheld. Operational mistakes can happen. What defines a serious establishment is accountability — not only acknowledging an error, but taking responsibility for its consequences. In this case, the burden of that error was transferred entirely to the client. This account is shared calmly and factually, in the hope that future guests will not face similar circumstances and that internal processes — particularly regarding management-approved group reservations — will be handled with the rigor they require.
