**Dining Experience** **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** €30–40 **Food:** 5/5 **Service:** 5/5 **Atmosphere:** 4/5 I had a wonderful dining experience! The food was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5. The service matched the quality of the food, also receiving a top rating of 5. The atmosphere was inviting, though I rated it a 4, as it was almost perfect but could use a tiny bit of enhancement. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dinner!

I went for dinner and ordered a starter, main course, dessert, and a few drinks. The highlight of the evening was definitely the dessert. Unfortunately, the menu was disappointing, and the food didn't improve things. For instance, I ordered the beef as my main dish. The menu promised potatoes and carrots, among other things, but what I got was a steak with a small amount of mashed potatoes underneath, a mysterious piece of what I could barely identify as a single carrot, and a sprinkling of peppercorn sauce. It felt very minimalistic to say the least. I wouldn't consider dining here again, nor would I spend that kind of money for another meal. On a positive note, the waitress was really friendly, but it seemed like she was managing everything by herself. There were only a few customers, and honestly, I can see why. As someone who travels frequently for work, I can say this was the worst dining experience I've had in a long time.
