Outstanding and a must where you are in the heart of Transilvania.The place was for a long time abandoned by the local council but Michelle and Arnold gaved they re very best of they re time and energy and funds to build back up this lovely establishment and reconstruct the spirit of Herr Brukentall back to the Avrig city .Im sure that the work paid off the day they reopennned the gates of the castle to the public offering them the best of the best what the region has to offer to its guests .Been there only a few times now as we live abroad but when we travel back home we always make time to go and visit this lovely special place as the service and the attention to details is remarcable and one can feel special here .Authentic local cuisine together with a lovely decorated salon makes one feel just like in a fairytale back in those days when royals lived .Outside garden is a must also for the little ones specially as they do so much for the kids like no other establisment in the area .Staff is well prepared and owners are a delight ,in winter they organise all sorts of events and the most known artists visit this place on a regular base.Its good for the city and it promovates Transilvania and its people .One must be proud of just being there close to the mountains but all the rest what this place has to offer makes the experience unforgetable .Thank you for taking care of us always and see you guys in a...

This review is about the restaurant, which is far, far from the current rating of 4.2 (I would give it a zero star ⭐ if possible). After going there for a few years enjoying a wonderful service, food, experience, now things are exactly the opposite. We ordered food and socată drinks (very refreshing fizzy drink made of fresh soc flowers that ferment in time with lemon and sugar - we knew from the past socată is excellent there). The waiter (dressed in a varsity jacket instead of an appropriate waiter outfit), brought 3 glasses of warm water with some disgusting syrup in it and a little dirty slice of orange (you can literally see the dirt embedded in the orange skin). When asked, the waiter explained it was made of soc syrup and had the audacity to affirm it was "socată". I told them that was not socată and they should inform clients ahead of time that the drink was not an authentic socată and that it was made of syrup and not charge 21 lei for warm water with some sugary syrup. Told them I was not paying for that disgusting drink. They offered drinks on the house and apologized for food not arriving and let us know there would still be another 15min for our food (we had been waiting 20min at this point already since we ordered). We waited further and after a total of 40 min with no sign of food arriving we got up and left. Very poor and extremely disappointing service. Avoid...
