Since then, she accepted it and did not apologize. I had eaten here a few years ago and it was really good. rather sad to see a decline of service standards. especially on an evening with a half empty restaurant.

I have eaten there two or three times a day. it is a midday buffet with an average but definitiw very acceptable selection. there is a bright and airy winter garden in which they can also eat and - if the sun seems - tables in the open directly at the river bank. a good day, the fascinated is now really brilliant! I have only given an average score because I have seen better buffets, but don't let them be deterred from my rating, because it's really worth visiting.

They do not have a menu in English. The waiter does not speak English very well, although she had a friendly attitude. The meal was soaked in oil and highly overpriced. In total, a place to avoid.
