"Alright, folks, get over it. They don't serve tap water. It says so on the menu. If that's your complaint, then you're missing the point. The bottled water does just fine, and is not the reason you come here. But let's get onto the important stuff. The service was charming; our waitress was perhaps even more so as she was ecstatic that we spoke and understood French. The food was well portioned and absolutely delicious. My smoked perch salad terrific. My daughter's octopus, delicate and tasty. My lamb, done with herbes de provence, fantastic. The desserts all knocked our socks off. My son and I had a wonderful chocolate lava cake. My younger daughter was delighted by her meringue with fresh whipped cream. My older daughter scooped up every last morsel of her creme brulee. And my wife swooned over the dessert special -- a frozen soufle with a grand marnier topping. The location deservedly can actually be called unique, for where else is there a patio fora restaurant surrounded by flowers, next to a rushing stream that provides a pleasant background noise, and right next to a bridge that overlooks Lake Geneva, which bridge was lined with flower boxes brimming with geraniums.The only mark against the location is that it sits within 10 meters of the funicular railway, which provides quaint entertainment every 20 minutes or so when it trundles by. But no worries, there are only two cars on the funicular, so if you don't like the noise, it's over quite soon. Would I go again? In a heartbeat. Great spot. Worth the hike."

"I have been here several times as it is conveniently located across the street from the train station and one of the few places open on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. The inside is naturally lighted by the large windows surrounding this restaurant. At the back there are some comfortable over-sized leather chairs to sit at. When we entered we had to wipe down our own table and chairs even though it was 2pm on a Sunday and mostly empty. While not dirty, it was not 100% wiped down. While the kitchen is closed at 2:00pm, you can still select one of their many sandwiches to eat either cold or hot. It just means you cannot order any of their pasta or pizzas from their menu. There were two people working here, but one of them was taking a break, which left the other girl running around trying to catch up. She looked tired, and while the service wasn't horrid, we still walked up to the counter to order our sandwiches, drinks, and pay. The sandwiches were very good, the bread was perfect. Following we selected one of the several favoured hot chocolates from their long list of Italian hot chocolate drinks. My friend and I each had the pistachio flavor. It was fantastic! I would come back just for the hot chocolate. They also had a large menu of teas and coffees. I have consistently found the sandwiches to be very good here, but the service, and cleanliness mediocre thus loosing a star."

"Sehr schade, die Lage ist spektakulär und es gibt auf jeden Fall einen luxuriösen ersten Eindruck, aber das Essen war recht durchschnittlich für die Preisklasse und Kategorie, in der es ist. Wir hatten ein bisschen auf unsere Getränke gewartet, aber das war in Ordnung, weil wir glücklich waren unterwegs sein. Wir hatten auch ein bisschen auf unser Essen gewartet, aber das war in Ordnung, bis sowohl in der Bestellung meiner als auch meiner Frau etwas fehlte. Kein Problem, aber das Essen war nur lauwarm und als unsere Beilagen kamen, war das Essen lauwarm. Nicht so schlecht, aber das Essen war nicht wirklich sehr gut. Durchschnittlich wäre das eine ehrliche Bewertung. Wir wollten auch eine Flasche Wein haben, aber als eine Flasche Dieter Meiers Puro (das ist ein fantastischer argentinischer Malbec) für 85 CHF auf der Karte stand, konnten wir nichts bestellen. Wir wohnen hier und in einem örtlichen Lebensmittelgeschäft kostet die Flasche 17 CHF, also habe ich meine 3-fache Preisregel befolgt. Ich wäre dafür auf 65 gestiegen, aber nicht auf das Fünffache ihres Kaufpreises.Der Service war amateurhaft und ich hatte das Gefühl, dass es eine Mischung aus Studenten und mäßig erfahrenen Kellnern war.Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass das Restaurant den Eindruck von gehobener Luxusküche erweckt und dafür nur durchschnittliches Essen und Service bietet. Ich empfehle Ihnen, woanders zu suchen, es sei denn, Sie sind sowieso im Hotel und möchten nur essen, ohne einen Spaziergang zu machen. Schade, es könnte viel schöner sein mit einem erfahrenen Koch und Service. . . . . ."
