"terrible service, not polite at all, they don't seem to be glad about guests... not to be recommended at all"
Michael J. Porter
"(Translated by Google) We ended up here quite spontaneously and were surprised with an incredibly delicious menu. Despite the price, which may seem very high for some, it is worth trying this cuisine. A wonderfully lovely service. Everything is explained lovingly and the food is served with warmth. Good, delicious food can have its price. It was a truly distinct taste experience. Thank you for that.
We'd love to come back!

Ganz spontan sind wir hier gelandet und wurden mit einem unfassbar leckerem Menü überrascht. Trotz des Preises, der für den ein oder anderen sehr hoch erscheint, lohnt es sich, diese Küche zu probieren. Ein wunderbar lieber Service. Alles wird liebevoll erklärt und das Essen mit Herzlichkeit serviert. Gutes, leckeres Essen darf seine Preis haben. Es war ein wirklich ausgesprochenes Geschmackserlebnis. Vielen Dank dafür.
Wir kommen gerne wieder!"
