Reviews
Food vas very nice, but the drinks arrived after the food, my mocktail was too sweet (although the waitress kindly offered to bring me a new one) and I think its a bit overpriced.
We really enjoyed! We were three people coming for lunch. The restaurant is high-end, beautifully designed, and has a very pleasant atmosphere. Despite its central location, it manages to create an intimate dining experience. The service is highly professional and welcoming, and the food was delicious, featuring an interesting mix of modern and more traditional dishes. We especially loved the shrimp dish, which was fantastic. The prices are not cheap and reflect the high standards the restaurant strives for—we ordered two appetizers, cocktails, and three main courses, and paid a total of €220 including service. Highly recommended when you're looking for a more special experience and are willing to pay for it.
I had a lovely dinner in this recently renovated bistro. The 'Austrian' veal was the highlight; generous in size, beautifully crumbed, and very tasty. We also ordered several side dishes, all of which were well-prepared and flavorful. The service was excellent; we were looked after by a friendly waiter and a young sommelier who recommended a few local wines that were delicious without being overpriced. It was a fun, light-hearted evening in a great atmosphere.
Simply amazing! We were staying at the hotel and came every day to ES for breakfast and dinner. I can’t say enough of this restaurant. The service was flawless and the food amazing. Best hotel breakfast I have ever had! Totally recommend it.
Food was delicious. Steak was a small portion but was cooked and seasoned very well. There’s always something about the way a restaurant does bread and butter and this one does it correct. There’s always something bread given was soft and the butter had a nice saltiness that added to the taste. If you’re visiting I say to definitely stop by. It also can get pricey depending on what you’re feeling.
