I rarely leave negative reviews. I will start with the positive, which is that the cut of beef I had (tenderloin) was very good. Unfortunately, there were several negatives: * the mixed vegetables were literally frozen vegetables that had been microwaved, with two slices of sautéed onion and one slice of sautéed pepper thrown in. No seasoning. Maybe 1/4 of a bag of frozen carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower you could buy for €2, and they charge €6,50. * the baby potatoes were baked, with essentially no seasoning, no oil, nothing. Just baked. * the gimmick (which I hadn’t realized ahead of time), is that the meat cooks at the table on a hot stone. So if it’s over-cooked, that’s on you. The instructions they give are to cook it 30 seconds on each side. That is not enough to come close to browning the outside of the meat and it will be completely raw. I don’t like overcooked meat, but 30 seconds on a side?? I don’t think you could brown the outside without way overcooking the meat. It pretty much can’t be cooked properly this way. * water cost €6,50. * the old fashioned cocktail (€14), was made with cheap whiskey and overly sweet. * service was very slow and the servers didn’t know what was gluten free or not. * the website claims to have over 75 menu items. I guess they are counting different sizes of the same cuts of meat, mixed and matched with the sauces that cost an extra €2,50 for ~1.5 tablespoons of sauce. When you don’t order the extra sauces, they bring the plates with empty bowls. After this, we definitely did not try dessert. I guess this is what we get for eating in the tourist district. I should have been suspicious when they didn’t have their menu online. Definitely got dubious when I saw paper napkins. I’m amazed at all the positive reviews.

Excellent food and service. Very knowledgeable staff regarding gluten free options, cooking requirements and coeliac disease. My son enjoyed a fabulous tenderloin and potato wedges, followed by vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce….all gluten free. Would definitely return as he thoroughly enjoyed his meal.
