The service was fantastic, the waiters come and fetch you at the car and they definitely know how to make you feel so welcome! The evening was started with amazing artisanal bread and a salmon amuse bouche that made you want more! After that it was unfortunately down hill. The starters were beautifully presented but the flavors did not match the looks. The main course followed suit and lacked flavor and excitement. Dessert was much better, the zingy passion fruit puree and the macaroon however was fantastic! Unfortunately I don't know if l will be going back and feel ripped off paying for what we got!
Awesome experience. Will be back
The service at this restaurant could not have been better! Amazing and friendly staff even opened the car door for me when we arrived.
The wine pairing of the food was really good with some interesting and different wines. The Wines in general was of excellent quality and a good diverse selection.

The starters were really good although maybe a bit too much. The chicken main was good but we found a lot of repetition in the food. What was in the starter salad was also in the main just presented differently. This was disappointing although still tasting good. The beef short rib was inedible. I really disliked the Marmitey-like chocolate concoction of a sauce. This really spoilt the meal for me. Good polenta but same repetition of vegetables as was in the salad starter.
The apple desert was fantastic! Best desert I have in a long time (and I would go back just for that) although the panna cotta was a bit thick too my liking.
Ambiance was good and very relaxing although our table was a bit close to the street and entrance gate to the Hotel.
Definitely worth a visit to this restaurant.
The food was ok i guess, the starters where not too impressive not enough to get me to go back.
