The food is fine, but far too expensive.
Prices • 3 courses – €42 • 4 courses – €49 • 5 courses – €56
Dishes Portions are very small. For example, the menu listed buckwheat dumpling—and it turned out to be just one dumpling per person! Service in the kitchen is slow: I waited about 20 minutes for each course (only the dessert came relatively quickly). The food is of good quality and tastes nice, but lacks any real creativity or “wow” factor.
Reservation On my first visit I was turned away immediately, being told that everything was fully booked. They put me down for the next day.
Atmosphere The interior is modern and stylish, everything feels clean. There are tables both inside and outside, with mountain views available from the terrace.
Service Staff speak decent English. However, I saw other guests complaining that they had been waiting for over an hour, and the staff neither apologized nor gave a clear response. In general, the service feels mechanical—well-trained but lacking warmth or personality.
Overall The restaurant clearly aims for Michelin-level status and seems to think highly of itself—hence the high prices, long waits, and tiny portions. But right now the service is weak, and while the food is tasty, it is ordinary, not memorable, and certainly not...
Read moreI’ve never in my life been made to feel so unwanted or unwelcome in a restaurant. We arrived at 7.30pm for our booking to be told they thought it was 6.30pm and we were a no show. We said that wasn’t the case and they said we could only have the only table inside (even though there was lots empty and people came in later were given outdoor tables). The staff were talking about us and laughing for a good while too which was awkward. We waited 20 minutes until a menu was brought over - they tried to jump straight to food and we asked for drinks first. The service was below average and exuded arrogance, but the food was tasty (despite the bonus hair in my pasta). I had the mushroom soup, pasta, trout and chocolate brownie - all the food was tasty (nothing out of this world but very enjoyable). My partner was looking forward to trying lots of wines but they weren’t interested in offering these to him really - he had to keep asking. The table next to us was offered a wine pair with dessert, and a complimentary drink on leaving - not the case for us. They definitely seemed friendly to Slovenians. I think a case of a restaurant that is riding on its reputation but the wait staff let it down - kudos to the...
Read moreVery happy with the courses for the prices associated with them. The server we had with the big beard was very good and knowledgeable about the menu and the wines to pair with it. For me, the steak upgrade was definitely worth it.
The downside was with a different server, we ordered an espresso at the end of dinner and saw the exchange between him and our server about how they already started to clean the machine - which is fine, we didn't need the coffee it's just a nice way to finish the meal, but let us know you are doing that so we can order before. It seemed rude for that to happen right next to us. The same server brought out a vacuum and started to sweep up the table behind us as we got dessert, I joked with our good server about it being the "closing down music", but we had just been served dessert and it was about five minutes after ten. Things you don't expect from a restaurant of this caliber, and what sticks out rather than specific...
