A really excellent restaurant with options ranging from 4 or 4 course menue, a la cart and seasonal specialties. The quality is exceptional as is the service. The dining room is small and therefore not noisy. All in all a really great restaurant. This comes with the certain cost, but it is totally worth it. Thank you for having us as well as our dog

Had three starters, all delicious. Excellent service from Omar, it was really busy but he kept us informed and also gave great advice on the menu. Loved him.

Beautiful location, I had a reservation and I dined outside and it was absolutely incredible. The staff were extremely friendly and the food tasted like heaven. The lamb loin, just melted in my mouth. I can’t forget it, I’ve never tasted something so good and so full of flavour. Would definitely come again

I had a wonderful stay here. My room overlooked the Rhine and it was so lovely. The staff were so kind and helpful to me as I didn’t know my way around. I would definitely stay here again. Warm regards from Alabama.

Location on the river is excellent. Glazed pork was AMAZING. We ordered pak Choi and mashed potatoes to share. Added nerves butter to the mashed potatoes and that was a dream. My friend ordered the bread dumplings and expectations were not met as it was a bread pudding that arrived. Still tasked well but just misled. Service great and friendly! Also very accommodating when the herbed butter did not arrive with the other food. Was also VERY happy they checked in even after the food arrived and i was able to give them the opportunity to correct the error without having to flag them down.
