The food is NOT it. With pasta tasting as stale rubber and chicken as rough as your dad’s beatings. A real roadhouse-quality food. Anyway, they do a great job presenting the food though

We ate dinner and breakfast there as we were staying at the hotel. I would say the dinner was ok, good food although nothing out of this world. Also they had a menu different to what cam be found online (more limited on the spot). The breakfast was actually very good. Great choice and very good. There's a buffet plus some items that can be ordered separately (pancakes, poached eggs, oatmeal etc).
In general it seems like the restaurant is understaffed, they always had quite a full room and the staff seemed overwhelmed, especially at breakfast.
Quite pricey I would say
