What travelers say:
We were four and had booked online that evening. The venue is beautiful with tables by the window overlooking the city in the shadow of the magnificent castle. There is a second row of tables by the wall, nice too but obviously second choice. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. The welcome was not what we’d expect with the manager indicating to the waitress without really greeting us to show us to a table (not set for four) by the wall. We asked the waitress if we could have a window table and she asked the manager. He just said no and did not deal with the request in a friendly or explanatory manner which really set us off to a bad start for the meal. A nice explanation would have been very acceptable as we booked late but we just felt annoyed. In the end the table we asked for never filled (though the other window tables did) so we felt we’d been treated differently maybe because we booked late or booked online or were not local. In fairness the manager did serve the first few courses himself in an effort to make it up to us as he could see we were not happy. So make up your own mind on whether that’s unreasonable of us or poor customer service by the restaurant!! We had the tasting menu which was the only option at €95 a head with wine pairings for 3 of us. The food was very creative and the content was mainly local fish, a lot of raw fish, but tasty. Steak tartare was one dish which two people had and enjoyed though it was a little lacking in flavour. The cooked pork alternative was a bit tough - they would be better to offer cooking the steak tartare a little for customers who don’t like it raw. The meal for four with three wine pairings and a tip came to €600. I had phoned earlier to book but was told I could only book online. Perhaps that’s because you are charged 120 per head for no show. If you’re booking ask for a window table! Of course it may not be available but thems the chances.
