Service was great initially. We must have chosen the wrong food on our visit. I've never had a stranger experience on quality of food in a nice restaurant. We chose a special 4 course tasting menu and I wouldn't recommend anyone else has this. Starter was scallops, this was actually one scallop thinly sliced in to 3, and coated in thick sesame seeds. So overpowering that you could only taste the sesame. Second was ravioli, taste was ok, presentation was shocking. Main was prawns done in balsamic and strawberries. This was weird and a really heavy taste. Overall pretentious and trying too hard. Wine was the only saving grace. We told waiter what we thought when asked and he didn't do anything to resolve. Still charged full price. At 45 euro plus 8 euro for bread, was poor value. I couldn't recommend.

We were seated on the pier in the corner with our small dog, and we had a fantastic view across the lake. It was also really nice to watch the fish hanging around below the pier, waiting for a few dropped morsels of food. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. I had the peppery mussels and the ravioli and it was so good, I could probably order the exact same thing a second time. My husband had the tuna tartar and the ostrich. His dishes were also very nice, but the winning dish would have to be the mussels. I think it's safe to say that we'll be back!

Service is spot on, staff can speak Germany and English as well as Italian. If you have the option of a table on the pier take it as the views are stunning especially the sunset.
