    I had the set menu, and the dishes were excellent and beautifully presented. The waitresses were also very attentive! I'll definitely be back.

    The "grilled meat" was so bad it was just greasy pork with a little chicken. It was supposed to be grilled, but the meat was reheated and dry. It was awful. Why does it cost so much to eat well these days? We paid 35 euros and it was terrible. The desserts were awful, and the place was a cold wooden cabin. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
