"I don’t ever write reviews, however our experience was so terrible I felt like this message needed to be shared. We made a booking for 10 people, but when we arrived we were told to that we can stand at a table for 3 people while we wait for seats to open. I asked “what’s the point in making a booking, if you don’t get a table?” And the barman said that we reserve an area to stand. ? I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to doing this. My friends and I resigned to getting a drink then searching for another place. We stood at the front of the bar for 20 min before anyone could take our order. When we eventually got someone’s attention, it took a further 45min for us to received our 4 cocktails. Furthermore, when we said we wanted to have a table so that we could eat, we were bluntly told that they don’t serve food. Why have a menu on your website then? We were not the only poor souls who made the mistake of walking into this establishment on this night. As we were standing by the staircase, we heard many people come in and explain that they have a booking, just to be told the same thing as us. The bar was quickly filling up and and considering how long our service took, I’m glad that we left when we did Worst experience ever. I would love for this message to be sent far and wide, to warn others not to make the same mistake we did."

"what a sound! To see in this place chopped to see whether it is necessary to book a meal in the evening. we were greeted by a charming young woman who was polite, friendly and helpful. we were informed that a booking was advisable, although she didn't think it was busy. the place was spotlessly clean with a casual but intelligent atmosphere.Having exhausted our own arrival we arrived 4 hours early. again another pleasant greeting, this time from an equally charming man, who could not have been more helpful. I am pretty wary of amide afternoon places for a meal, because it is more quiet often the chef on a divided layer and someone else is "fills-in". not so here. the two menus “tasty-choice” and blackboard specialties were well explained and the order was taken over. the starter of fried brie, served with summer boobs was nicely cooked, not greasy and tasty. As demanded our sampi and a medium/brown filet steak came delicious in its taste simpleness. my man, well traveled and fed thought that steak was one of the most unforgettable he had ever eaten. both dishes were accompanied by particularly beautiful riders handmade on the grounds.Throughout, we were checked for without bing pestered to ensure that we were happy. boil and service were the “climbing menu” in the four-star hotel where we lived, far superior.High efficiency recommended for the quality of live products. A real gem! "
