I can't say anything about the rooms, just the food.We were invited to a birthday party. Our vegetarian/vegan wishes were implemented in advance, so that the dinner lacked nothing. We found the lady who was responsible for the guests that day to be extremely hard-working and in a good mood despite the high capacity. The quality of the food was appropriate for the restaurant - a bit rustic, rather simple, but tasty. We had a lovely evening here and wish the restaurant will continue to have such motivated service staff for a long time to come. :)
