The restaurant was very good , we had salmon risotto , it was perfectly cooked. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine cocktail selections. We really enjoyed the stay. Would suggest coffee service in the lobby though because the restaurant isn’t open in the morning. Also the beds are very comfortable and it was very quiet in the room!
