We where told to go there forthe view and it was very good. It was a rooftop view and we came in the evening so many of the the buildings in view was lightened up. Pleasant service with a smile. Nice appetizer with a little glass of bubbles. good start.
The bread came out (old and bought from the market). Hey if you want to impress the customer bake some yourself. It is very easy. I ordered a steak of deer meet with warm peeled apple and chestnuts. First the food was not warm and the steak was so dry that it was uneatable. I asked for a new one and i was told that i couldnt because the steak was slow cooked for 36 hours (hmmm, maybe thats why it was extremely dry). That should have been mentioned before the order, then i would have had a hint. The friendly service asked me if i wanted another dish and i ordered lamb (drumsticks). I ordered them rosa. When they came some of the meet where perfectly cooked and some of it was raw. At that point i gave up. I didnt send it back. I just cut off the raw part and consumed my meal. When we where about to leave the service came out with different jacket twice and i had to enter the jackets place right next to the kitchen and point out the right clothes. My conclusion is. Dont try to be anything that you are not.
