The food was fantastic. I went in September and the turbot, lobster, and lamb were great. I thought there could be more explanation with regards to the different cheeses that were served, but other than that the service and the atmosphere were well put together. Would recommend to anyone.

Good location, down town. But Complex and expensive parking (15€). No air conditioning. Breakfast a little bit expensive (16€). Surprisingly 50€ of deposit for the mini bar of the room were there were only two bottles of water....
So the price for the room may be discussed.
