"Keep in mind nowadays world need to reminds that we are going thru pandemic Covid-19 so dinning could be risky restaurants have been linked to air circulation Direction, ventilation, and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission, even if social distancing measures hand sanitizer and mask use are implemented ,Masks cannot be effectively worn while eating and drinking, so I was hoping somehow windows enlisted one was open in order to let airflow circulate "nope" I know is winter time but this is a pandemic situation where this should be as standard procedure, they have great protocols like you need to hand sanitizer before seating 👍.

Read moreI was here almost ten years ago and I had memories of a rather unprofessional service and an uneven cuisine, although with some peaks (see my previous review). Now the outside space has been completely refurbished, service is very professional, but above all the cuisine was a revelation!
I believe there are currently two chefs behind the new and improved culinary experience: the owner currently presents himself as "the" chef on the website. But on the menu another chef (who used to work at the Michelin starred Vecchia Malcesine) writes as if he was "the" chef.

To make matters worse, the food didn’t meet expectations either. The roe deer dish was dry, bland and underwhelming—I wouldn’t recommend ordering it.
What was supposed to be a joyful celebration turned into a frustrating and upsetting experience. We left feeling deeply disappointed and wouldn’t return or recommend this...
