Excellent starters, bur avoid the steaks which in our case were tuff, rough and very chewy.

I tried to get his attention several times, but he kept turning away and clearly waited for another waiter to assist us instead. That would have been completely understandable if he had just said, “I’m sorry, I can’t serve you.” Instead, he chose to ignore us altogether. Some of our dishes were forgotten, and the food took a very long time to arrive. We had to remind the staff several times about our order.

I really loved the fact that after the shift was ended by the waiters they all sat down and ate all together that shows that they really appreciate them and that was really nice to see. The bathroom was dirty but that maybe due to the fact that the restaurant was full. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €30–40

Very delicious. Service good, but not as good as the place asks for. Can recommend! read more Very delicious. Service good, but not as good as the place asks for. Can recommend!

The price was adequate for the food and derive offered. Some of the staff speak fluent English, and they have menus printed in English. The place is modern elegant, and suitable for both a casual evening out with friends or a more special occasion. The suggested wine was nice but nothing special. Still, I enjoyed it. To sum it up, definitely recommended. Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
