10/10The food was great, but you might want to skip on dinner the day before if you really want to try it all ! The service staff is super nice and we were on the terrace in the sun which was top notch !

8.5/10Very nice view of the lake and as it was a nice day, we had our lunch outside on the terrace. Staff were courteous and professional.

5/10Tagliatelle with truffles was oversalted and very disappointing. I was very much looking forward to it after my last visit but after this experience will not be coming back. We were also charged CHF 9 extra for potatoes which were never brought to the table. The waiter rudely responded that they were on the plate and refused to do anything. Very disappointing experience and explains why it’s not a busy place. Excellent view - visit for a drink but don’t eat there unless you want to have a mediocre meal and pay extra for food you might never receive.

10/10Beautiful place with view on the Jet d'eau, large choice of tasteful food. We had to try almost all the desserts because they looked soooooo good (and the taste was beyond our expectations especially with the chestnut desserts). I chose this place and the brunch for my birthday and I had such a great time with my family. Last but not least, Carmelo was the best and took great care of us! Many thanks to him for his kindness and humor.

6/10Limited range of breads and other classic brunch items such as pancakes and waffles. The hot dishes were also very limited. In view of the hot weather some unusual ice creams would have been appreciated. 95 Swiss francs per person for the brunch was not justified by the service or the quality and diversity of tthe food. It took two reminders to get butter and the spicy oil was brought to the table after I had finished eating.

5.5/10relaxed, private ambience and the view is great. fries a bit cold, steak a bit underwhelming, veggies a bit average. italian kitchen that serves one single italian open wine. it's not bad but it's also not amazing.

9.5/10Excellent food, really interesting menu composition. Good wine list. Service was attentive and staff knowledgeable on food and wines. Other diners were a "mixed bag".

5.5/10Brunch buffet is disappointing at best. For the price and reputation of the hotel there was much to be desired

4.5/10Lack of service and taste. Ambiance is horrible for a dinner. Lighting was way too much, felt like i was in the aquairum. From reflection of the window, you cant even see the beautiful view. But you can see yourself very clearly . Server was not attended even though there was only couple table dinning. She didn't care of the table refreshing/bread crumbs until the check was asked. Food was super oily greasy. Only took couple bites. Server/host said yes other people complained also and chef working on the new recepie ???? but they did make sure to charge €52 uneaten pasta.

10/10The pasta truffle dish was a hit for us both. The service was delightful. The view of the Jet d'Eau was gorgeous and was lit up in different colours. We will definitely return.

10/10This was the best service we have had in all of the country. The food quality matched the service. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish, but especially recommend the summer truffle pasta.

6/10The reception was bad and we were refused to sit on the terrace and refused entry to those who do not live in the hotel. It was a really bad experience. I will not repeat the visit or recommend my friends to come for the mistreatment.. Thank you

5/10Unfortunately the experience was below expectations! The view is superb, the service is good and friendly, but the food is totally not in line with the restaurant and what you paid for.. We took Risotto and Pasta and both dishes were very disappointing unfortunately.

10/10It's not just the most amazing view of Lake Geneva, the food and wine are absolutely terrific! And where vegetarian is lot treated as a pariah! The pacheri pasta with pesto and pistachio was divine! And the Asparagus risotto! And a lovely selection of wines ????

7/10Birds flying about the restaurant and landed on a plate of food waiting to be served. The bird started to eat the food and the plate was then served to the customer - shocking!

9/10Excellent food and views of the lake and Geneva. While the staff were very pleasant, the timing was off on the service of bread (came With the meal, not before) and wine (had to remind them that we’d ordered a bottle after the entree was served).

10/10Loved the Brunch buffet! It is on the expensive side, but the food is amazing. Top quality ingredients and service! And the view is AMAZING! For the price, they could at least include sparkling wine or mimosas.

5/10The service was not up to the standard ! The waiter was quite unpleasant and definitely not opened to feedbacks. It was slow and not efficient. The view was really the only pleasant part !

6/10Very nice service personnel. Fair decoration except for the ugly artificial grass on the terrace. Below average food. Almost all dishes were under-salted, tasteless truffle, partly overcooked meat and I am sorry but that is not a tiramisu. Definitely not a culinary experience.

9.5/10Service was amazing, so was the food. Music was a bit strange. But still a very pleasant experience! I would certainly recommend and come again some time.

8/10Service was good but sometimes over the top - we were asked 3 times if we wanted wine even though we had mentioned the first time we didn’t want. The food was very good. I ordered gnocchetti as “primo” and burger as “secondo”. I was expecting the burger to be just the meat as it was under the “carne” section but it came as a full meal with buns and fries. I found the menu a bit misleading, besides rhe fact this is not very authentic Italian cuisine. Coffee was ok, not great.
