    We had a lovely lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. One small observation: for a restaurant that feels very much like a fine-dining experience, the use of paper serviettes felt slightly out of place. Cloth napkins would elevate the table setting and better match the overall quality of the restaurant.

    Das Essen war leider kalt. Es kam niemand rechtzeitig, um es zurück gehen zu lassen. Schade, dass auf der Terrasse die Hecke genau so hoch ist, dass man die Lagune nicht mehr sieht.
