We'd been recommended this place and indeed the overall backdrop of the mountains is impressive, even if the restaurant is actually the other side of the road.The menu looks impressive with prices to match. Whilst the food and overall experience was acceptable, we didn't feel it quite delivered on the expectation suggested by the prices and reviews here. Eg around 15 Euros for starters, 20-30 Euros for mains.I felt the service was not slick enough. It wasn't at all busy but it was just under 1.5 hours after arrival to get starters. We weren't asked if our food was ok or invited to have additional drinks.The garlic prawn starter was good with four large shell on prawns. The chicken liver pate was also ok but I'm not sure why it was 14€ for such a simple dish.The fillet steak was nice and shared by our party, however it definitely was well-done and not medium as ordered. The risotto was ok but served warm and overly buttery.I wasn't impressed that we were asked to order desserts with the initial order. Especially as all, or most, of them were pre-prepared , albeit good quality. The apple tart which could have been made fresh was just warm.Given the other reviews it's worth a visit and maybe on another day it would be 4 stars. I'd probably have given 3.5 but this wasn't an option.It was closed on our first visit , (Tues) so they should perhaps have updated their trip advisor listing to show this. It did say this on Google.
