Nothing went well. We were Ingored the majority of the time while the table next to us received the utmost attention. Then after we advised we didn’t eat pork the main dish arrived with pork. After waiting 40 mins for the main dish. When we told the waiter he was like oh and never suggested a fix. We left promptly. I would never go back and will tell others the same. We have eaten at many Michelin star restaurants and never had this experience. I was shocked.

Quiet peaceful atmosphere. We took Grand menu and everything was delicious , though duck with speck was too salty for both of us. Besides that everything was good 😊
