We were welcomed by Maitre of the restaurant, all actions taken as it should be. The food was correctly served, introduction and explanation was informative. Presentation of food was good, proportion enough. Overall comments: thumbs up.

To be honest, I found this place a bit overpriced. I mean, the service is remarkable and the food is nice, but nothing for those prices.

I walk by this place almost daily without going in but, it being a special occasion we took the family. I expected the usual, not very goo, highly priced, unimaginative cooking that one so often finds.

This is not really a recommendable address. It pretends to be good but i was relatively unimpressed. Sophisticated dishes, but very average ingredients and somewhat uninspired cooking make the whole experience rather dull. Service is dreadfully slow and uninterested. Mediocre wine list. There are better alternatives.

One of my favorite restaurants in Basel, especially for business dinners. The menu includes excellent daily specials, and a good wine list. The service is attentive without being intrusive.

Pleasant restaurant a couple of tram stops away from the main station. Friendlz service, good food, definitely worth a detour if you are in Basel .

Money for value is not very well balanced. service is a bit annoying. Waiters show up at the table every second minutes to ask if all is right... a bit tto much.
