The location is very beautiful, the food ok, though too expensive. The service however is a disaster. The most arrogant, unfriendly and unflexible maitre d' I've experienced in a long time. He spoilt our lunch experience and I will never go back there nor recommend to anyone to go. It's shameful especially because I really liked the place until today,... More

Good view - the rest is absolute [--]. Bad food, totally overpriced and the WORST service ever! Its a shame that something like this exists in Zurich. I can not understand how people can be so unfriendldy. Do not get blind by the nice view, there is tons of much nicer places out there. NEVER AGAIN!!!

We've visited a few times during the summer and we enjoyed their outdoor seating with lake view. The restaurant is a bit more on the formal side. Service is friendly and although the place was packed, not slow. Nice menu with something for every taste: fish, meat, sushi, vegetarian, Asian inspired. Nice presentation and delicious dishes but that is what... More

We had a very nice rich breakfast with everything you could ask for. The staff is very nice and they have a very nice area for kids. You have an awesome view over the lake.

This restaurant has a superb venue, just on the shores of the Zurich Lake. Especially in sunny days and summer, its outdoor area offers a unique experience. But unfortunately, nothing else is notable here. The decoration inside has no spirit, nothing special. Service quality is quite below the Swiss standards, hard to find smiling faces here. As for the food,... More

We came here for a lovely Sunday brunch and were very happy. The food is served as a buffet-style brunch and although it's not the best quality food in the world, there is a good selection and the price is not too bad. Of course it's expensive but if you get a table outside as we did, you are sitting... More
