Restaurant Giewont — Restaurant in gmina Kościelisko

The food was mostly delicious, great flavors. The dessert was significantly less interesting than the rest. The service was far from Michelin star level. We needed to wait more than 5 minutes at the table before anyone came to us. The restaurant was about 40-50% percent occupied. They were severely understaffed. The waiters were polite, I don’t think anything was their fault. Understaffing and poor training is the main problem. The wine list was simply a disaster. We were informed, most of the wines from the list are not available, but they have a different selection???? Additionally, no vintage was printed on the list, but in the given situation it was not relevant. We ordered a Rhone red, was not available and we were offered a “ similar” wine- small Chateau right bank Bordeaux- they were similar in color- both were red! Then we got an offer to see the wine selection. The waiter who was in phone contact with the sommelier- he was on call from home- told us the prices after discussing with the sommelier over the phone. Nothing was in writing. We ordered a bottle of Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2013- The price offer was 500PLZ- about 120 euros. I was aware it is underpriced , I asked the price three times, same answer. The final bill was 990 PLZ , exactly twice as much. It was still ok price, but in business once you agree on the price, you need to stick with the deal. At least he should have said something, but the waiter pretended like nothing happened. I honestly believe, it was not his fault- he didn’t have much clue about the prices. The sommelier “ on call” was at fault. Perhaps he was busy printing the new wine list. The restaurant is in a beautiful and elegant building, very tasteful, elements of modernity and tradition. I think the restaurant is definitely not ready for a Michelin star. It is somewhat sad. The atmosphere is perfect , the chef has great potential. His technique is good, the dishes well presented and flavorful. Needs a pastry chef. Only one comment about the chef- he came up to talk to only one table - local dignitary with his family- didn’t great us or any other guests- this is not the best for business! It looks like money was not spared to built the restaurant, but staff is equally important. I would dismiss the “ sommelier” The wine list needs to replaced and updated continuously, the vintages of the wines needs to be on the wine list. They need more staff education I am afraid , without changes the star won’t be shining for too long. I usually don’t write this much , I believe the potential is great and it is always so nice to find new great dining spots in areas were fine dining was not...

This restaurant not only embodies a cuisine that is light and refined, but also generous and subtle. As soon as you enter this place, you fall under the architectural charm, an airy design, with a kitchen team working under your eyes on your left! The tone is set! For it is certain, you are entering a world where the epicurean is king!

Indeed, the restaurant unfolds as you climb the stairs, revealing its intimacy through decorative objects selected with passion, presenting successively rooms with different functions, lounge atmosphere, small VIP aside in a dedicated room, cosy place reserved for whisky tasting and cigars, some superb rooms reserved for guests who wish to spend a restful night on the spot. In short, the space has been created so that each client's imagination can project itself as it pleases, whether for a romantic dinner, a work seminar, a family event; this place stimulates your desires! Imagine and the team immediately puts itself at your service to satisfy your expectations.

We took a tasting menu, accompanied by a few vintages that met our expectations, because here too, the wine list offers some great classics, Italian, French, Spanish, etc. or some small local discoveries. The prices are affordable and adapt to your budget! However, nothing prevents you from indulging yourself with a little Sassicaia 2012!

I will finish with the chef's performance and his 7-course menu that will delight your taste buds and your eyes as the presentation is impeccable. A small favorite, however, for the revisited tartar and the Kwaśnica soup, two little wonders of innovation. The integration of a local cuisine, imbued with various foreign influences, definitely makes the originality of the young chef with multiple talents and who does not hesitate to make a turn in the room to present you with the main dish himself! Bravo!

To discover, absolutely and especially, invent an evening, all the team of the Giewont will know how to translate this moment into a magic emotion! The concept goes far beyond the traditional idea of a restaurant, it is a universe defined by the very desire to please the customers! This is rare enough to underline, especially at a price that remains affordable for this kind of gastronomic experience!

It was an audacious bet, it is successful! A big bravo to...

My husband and I travel a lot, we have never ever met such a rude attitude from the owner(!) of the business in service(!!) industry, nowhere, in any country in the world! We randomly chose this restaurant on our way (free entrance from the main road, no restrictions, information signs, etc.) with my husband and 2-year old child, we wanted to have lunch after the long trip and wifi to check our bookings. The restaurant was closed that day, we got back into our car on the empty parking near the restaurant to (at least) breastfeed the daughter in the car. A few minutes later a man drove up to us, we expected that it was someone from the staff who saw that we have some problems and wanted to offer his help, as usually normal people do everywhere and especially in tourist areas. What was our surprise when this “Mr” said that we could not stand there, because he is the boss here and this is his property. We told him that there was no information on any restrictions, no special signs saying that we are doing something that is not allowed, and we obviously needed some time to stop feeding the baby and put her back in a car seat, but "Mr" wanted us to leave immediately, otherwise he said he would call the police. Saying that to the people who just came to your restaurant, seriously?? Behind a “special concept” and a beautiful facade, there is simply a boorish attitude towards people, and it doesn’t matter already what is inside. If the owner treats his guests and clients this way, I can only imagine what the staff can do. Watch your plates! We definitely will never return to this place again and will tell all our...
